COMMENT: The real reason for the rot —Mir Mohammad Ali Talpur

There is absolutely no challenge to what the army does or has done in the past and this too is a natural corollary of the genesis of this state

Nations are products of long historical and evolutionary processes; most present nation states evolved thus. But when states are formed on an artificial basis of contrived nationhood or on the basis of religion, as was the case with Pakistan, Israel and Yugoslavia, they of necessity turn into fascist states, dominated by a militarist ideology. Serb-dominated Yugoslavia denied rights to other nationalities and eventually imploded. Pakistan by claiming to be the legatee of the glory of Islam burdened itself with heavy historical baggage, but then it could not have done otherwise as it was that claim that it wanted to justify its artificial existence with. Consequently, Pakistani rulers in keeping with its elite’s interests curtailed national rights of different nationalities, and forced them to rally under the banner of religion and to accept its ideology by upholding their brand of Pakistani nationalism.

Protest against killing of teacher Nazeer Marri and abductions of Baluch activists

Occupied Baluchistan: Baloch Human Rights Organization (BHRO) protested in front of Quetta Press club against the targeted killings of renowned Baluch educationist and Vice Principal of a secondary school, Nazeer Marri, and senior member of Baluch National Movement Karachi, Dr. Raheem Baksh Baloch.

The killing of Baluch intellectuals and educationists is a calculated conspiracy, which intends to plunge the Baluch nation into darkness.

Notorious security agencies of Pakistan whisked away 75 year old Baluch man
