The September 24 earthquake
in Baluchistan left more than 1000 people dead and many are still buried under
the ruined of their houses. Those who are not pulled out from under rubble unaccounted.
I am sure the accurate number of death will not be revealed to the public.
The Punjabi dominated
central Government of Pakistan has turn down search and rescue operations from
international communities that they could provided much needed help to
earthquake strike area within 5 to 6 hours after the earthquake hit Awaran, a deprived township in Baluchistan and
they could have saved some lives. But saving the lives is not Pakistani state preference
in Baluchistan, taking away the Baluch lives is the state policy in Baluchistan.
The Punjabi government know that they have not infrastructure
in Baluchistan to distribute much need immediate necessities for the earthquake
striking people or money to rebuild the damage cause by earthquake. To the
every bodies surprise Central government as well as provincial government have turn
down help and dined the access to Red Cross, Red Crescent, UNHCR and others NGO
who have said they are ready to move in and bring much needed help and
experience to help people to build their lives.
The Red Cross appeal to help the Baluchistan victims of earthquake
was not strong enough. The Red Cross as well as Red Crescent appeals were not
strong it were a bureaucratic daily routine, if jihadi infested Red Crescent is
not allowed it also suit Red Cross. The international
communities, international humanitarian, intergovernmental organisations, NGO salience
against genocide in Baluchistan beyond every one believe. It seems that the
atomic failed state Pakistan has taken the world community hostage.
One understand that the red crescent does not want to upset
Pakistan army because they are made of the same material and their main goal is
Jihad in the name of god and secular culture of Baluchistan is their goal to
destroy it is understandable, but why UNHCR and Red Cross voices are not louder,
why they are not issuing any statement about humanitarian cross in Baluchistan.
They should come up and share what is going on in Baluchistan with the people
in the world.
The province chief minister has come into power claiming to
represent middle classes in Baluchistan so far he is presiding on dead bodies
of the Baluch who have been killed by Army “kill and dump” policy. Now the
earthquake left more than 1000 dead and 300000 homeless and he claims that he
has resources to provide much need help by itself. Not many sound minded people
in Baluchistan and Pakistani share his opinion. The chief minister of
Baluchistan has no power and money to build a public toilet outside his office
in Quetta Awaran where earthquake hit is too far away
from his sphere of influence.
So called middle
class chief minister Dr Malik failed the Victims of 24 September earthquake by
denying the international humanitarian organisation direct access to victims and
helped Pakistan army to exploit earthquake to make money for themselves and
blame the Baluch Nationalist for the rebuilding work the army has no intention
to do. The victims of earthquake are
taken hostage by the Baluchistan chief minister and his Punjabi mentors, which is
unethical and immoral.
The Punjabi prime minister, army, Dr Malik, Bezanjo and
company are building a mega city in Gwadar. They will use everything to achieve
the mega city in Gwadar even stealing from old widows or starving children. They
believe earthquake has provided them opportunity that they can exploit and turn
in their advantage.
