Sardar Ataullah Mengal: Balochis harbouring anti-Pakistan sentiments

In yet another outburst against the security establishment for its alleged hand in the kill-and-dump spree in Balochistan, veteran nationalist leader Sardar Ataullah Mengal said on Thursday that the separation movement in the province could only be stopped
by punishing those who had committed crimes against the Baloch.

He was talking to a delegation of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) led by Asadullah Bhutto, the Ameer of the party in Sindh, at his residence. Mengal said that anti-Pakistan and anti-army sentiments were high in Balochistan, as the Baloch considered the security
personnel the killers of their dear ones. “Those who are supposed to provide protection are murdering them (Baloch), dumping their dead bodies with mutilated faces.”

“The same 1971 drama is being replayed when Bengalis were deprived of their rights and ultimately Bangladesh emerged on the world map. He said the entire country knew who was behind the massacre of the Baloch. “The killing of Baloch people at the hands of
their own security forces is not only shocking, it’s a grave crime.”

Perhaps referring to the killing of high-profile Baloch nationalist leaders, he said no one had been left who could control the situation in the province. “The situation is alarming and that may lead to dangerous state of affairs.”

Meanwhile, Bhutto said talks or negotiations in the past remained inconclusive because verbal assurances could not calm down the situation which had reached the point of no return. “Balochistan requires immediate attention or it would fall apart.” Expressing
concern over the volatile situation in the province, he said that continued mistreatment of the Baloch would lead to anarchy in the country.
