Baluch martyrs are present among us. Today is a day the Baluch remember and honour the martyrs’ memory and to renew its commitment to
the Baluch national liberation cause.
A society is held
together by sacrifices selfless men and women make. In order to defend the
Baluch values and dignity some people we knew and the many in the past have laid
down their lives. They paid the ultimate price and went to join the ancestral
heroes and become immortal martyrs worthy of worship.
On this special occasion
I criticise my fellow activists including myself,
Some among the activists have been involved in delegitimising
a part of the Baluch national liberation leadership in favour of another leader
which isn’t a clever idea. There is no
way one could demonise a Baluch nationalist leader without demonising all Baluch
struggle. It is normal and democratic to question a leader.
No one is perfect. Rhetorical chanting is not debate but a
way to avoid a healthy debate, the rhetoric makers’ purpose is not to describe
what is there but to call what is not there; and to dismantle the struggle for
national liberation that martyrs have irrigated by their blood.
The Baluch should know that they cannot solve their
differences on social media. The Baluch would succeed to complete the martyr’s tasks
if they think of each other positively; the
Baluch would fail the martyrs if they think negative.
The Baluch nation is bound together by share identities and
will to live together the Baluch nation sustained by the myths and rituals devoted
to the idea of the nation. The common sense of the absolute sacrifices still exists
among the Baluch.
The Baluch national liberation Martyrs were individuals’ someone
son, daughter’s belong to a tribe, and political organisation. But because they
sacrifice their lives for national liberation therefore they are transformed
from individuals to nation heroes and belong to the nation and they become holly
and celebrated by the Nation.
