Issues of missing persons and death squads in Balochistan by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja Created On: 23/Oct/2012 Views: 1538 Replies: 0 
Amidst the murky environment in strife-torn Baluchistan, sudden appearance of Balochistan National Party (BNP) leader Akhtar Mengal from his self-imposed exile since 2009 was a surprise for many. He is relatively moderate and wants to settle grievances remaining within the framework of federation of Pakistan. Assurances given by Nawaz Sharif, Imran Khan, Jamaat-e-Islami and above all the tough sta Click here to read Full Article

Hype over attack on Malala by Asif Haroon Raja
Posted By: Asif_Haroon_Raja On: 21/Oct/2012 Views:1245 Replies:0 
Attack on 14 years old Malala Yousafzai in Swat was an abhorrent act which has rightly been condemned by great majority. Like others, I also condemn the deplorable attack in strongest words. It generated not only an extraordinary sympathy blitz both in Pakistan and rest of the world but also evoked vociferous denunciation against the perpetrators. She captured attention of the world since she had Click here to read Full Article
Need to arouse patriotic fervor by Asif Haroon Raja

Balochistan despite being the richest province of Pakistan in terms of natural resources has remained backward and neglected. There have been sporadic spurts of violence unleashed by the Baloch nationalists who are convinced that their resources are being plundered by other provinces and resource-rich Balochistan would be better off independently. This feeling germinated in their minds after the Click here to read Full Article

Balochistan continues to simmer and has reached a boiling point because of breakdown of law and order and absence of governance by the provincial government and has the portent of turning catastrophic. Spree of target killings continues; in Khuzdar such incidents are taking place almost daily. In Quetta region, the Hazaras are constantly attacked. Cruel practice of Wani (a custom to give girls in Click here to read Full Article

War on terror was conceived by USA and its strategic allies to pitch non-Pashtun Afghan security forces against the Afghan Pashtuns including Taliban and create permanent divisions on ethnic lines; create space for India to increase its influence and to constrict Pakistan’s space in Afghanistan; pitch Iraqi national militia together with Kurds and Iraqi Shias against Saddam loyalists and al-Qaida Click here to read Full Article

Mingled with them are the memories of many of our comrades, the best amongst us, who laid down their lives and thus made the supreme sacrifice in the defence of motherland. We live to remember the chivalry of late Major Muhammad Akram, the c Click here to read Full Article

The reason why foreign powers get attracted towards Balochistan is because of its strategic importance and wealth. It has Makran coastline in the south, which connects it with Iran in the southwest and Afghanistan in the northwest. It has a seaport at Gawadar that was built by China. Gawadar along Makran coastline lies at the opening of Strait of Hormuz. Balochistan has huge quantities of natural Click here to read Full Article
 
Indians project Quaid-e-Azam as a communalist by Asif Haroon Raja

In order to hide their crimes and to distort historical facts, Indian historians and political leaders have chosen to paint Quaid-e-Azam as the ‘villain of the piece’. The Indians propagate the theme that ‘Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a communalist responsible for the bloody break up of Pakistan. He founded a theocratic and non-secular State’. The BJP and other Hindu hardliners even now accuse him of Click here to read Full Article

There is a dire need to renew peace process in Afghanistan which got stalled in mid 2011. It is not only important for safe and timely exit of ISAF but also for Obama to boost up his chances of re-election in November 2012. Unable to win the war in Afghanistan, as a minimum he needs to show progress on the political front by arriving at a negotiated political settlement in Afghanistan.
