Ormara: The caravan which has set off from ormara will continue its journey until Balochistan's self-determination and Baloch National Liberation. Balochistan issue’s only solution is Independence, setting up a navy base in orama means the elimination of the people of ormara, BNP’s leaders Akhtar Mengal expressed these view while addressing a massive public rally in ormara town in Balochistan. Mr Mengal said that Pakistani citizenship is an insult for Baloch people, it is the century of independence and Baloch should unite and work for freedom of their motherland and get rid of Punjabi slavery imposed on Baloch Nation from last 63 years.

BNP (M) leader Akhtar Mengal, general secretary and ex-senator Mr Habib Jalib, ex-MNA Mr Rauf Mengal, general secretary of BSO (M) Mr Javid Baloch and others were speaking at a public gathering in ormara town in Balochistan.

Speakers said that they were struggling against the Punjabi’s occupation of Baloch land. Punjabi rulers have pushed the Baloch against the wall. They said that Baloch were not even able to see the dead bodies or their leaders and loved ones. Pakistan’s so called Islamic army have no respect for human lives and value for human rights. They said when Pakistan army run away from battle field and left their dead soldiers behind in India. Their soldiers’ dead bodies were put in coffins and given back to Pakistan with respect and dignity. Whereas Pakistan’s intelligence agencies have abducted three Baloch political leaders, tortured them killed them in cold blood and dumped their bodies in a deserted area. Baloch leaders’ decomposed bodies were later found by locals. Yet Pakistan’s army and ISI claims to be vanguards of Islam. Where in Islam it says that bodies of people should be disrespected and dumped away in such a brutal manner? They questioned.

Speaking to the people of ormara Akhrar Mengal said that he visited Ormara first time in 1988 and now he was there after 20 years. Nothing has changed in the town; only change one can notice is that people of Ormara are under siege. The cemetery is decorated with the pictures of Mr Jinnah and a navy base is being set up to make the life miserable for people. Thousands of acres of land have been allotted to brigadiers, army generals, colonels and other non-Baloch hailing from different part of Pakistan.

He said he was not there for an election campaign but he was out to ask for peoples’ help to give a final push to the weaken wall (Pakistan) which is about to fall anyway, yet it needs a little push and Baloch people united can topple this wall for ever. He said that “we have tried Pakistani police, army, judiciary, bureaucracy and parliament but none of these are beneficial for Baloch people”.

Referring to United Nations Mr Mengal said that they should come to the aid of Balochistan. International community should help the Baluch to get rid of the forced occupation of their land. He said if the UN cannot help the Baluch to get their self-determination then they should remove the chapter of self-determination (which guarantees the protection of the of oppressed Nations’ rights) from the UN charter.

He said when Nawaz Sharif revolted against the government and started a long March toward Islamabad every Punjabi police, doctor, labor, lawyer, student, social worker – hence people from all spheres of life joined his long March and forced the government to fulfill their demands. In same manner the Baloch Nation should show unity and work for National liberation of Balochistan.
