The biggest news doing rounds in Baloch circles is Nawab Bugti's proposal of a single political platform. He wants his party (JWP), BNP (Mengal), Haq Tawar (Nawab marri) and NP (Dr. Hayee) to merge into one. This is being talked about everywhere, and our intellectuals are going full throttle calling it 'historical breakthrough', 'golden chance', and such.
But is it???
Why exactly do we need 'one' platform??? why are we so thrilled to repeat our mistakes?? remember NAP??? remember Mengal-Bugti alliance in 1997??? We know very well that we don't have political parties in balochistan. we have only political personalities.
What will this alliance achieve?? If Bugti wants to do non-parliamentary politics (sic!), he does not need any political platform.
Bugti is the most tainted Baloch politician among the three. He has killed more baloch than Paki Army ever have. I am not going to forgive him of all his sins, if he starts making some noises about Balochistan today.
and why will people of National Party will be in that alliance?? If Dr. Malek is in, ISI is in. what do we need people like sanaullah Zehri for? Putting all sheep in one 'waad' does not make them tigers.
I know i might get a lot of flak for saying this, but i feel this is another ploy from the granddad of Baloch politics, Mr.Bugti, to gain more power and prominence. No, i don't trust him.
