Blood Blood Balochistan— By Sanaullah Baloch

Sanaullah Baloch, a former senator and member of Pakistan’s National Assembly, is a Baloch nationalist leader. He served as a former central information secretary of Balochistan National Party (BNP). The Baloch Hal brings you his hand-written investigative write-up about the history of target killing of leaders of oppressed nations across the world.

The handwritten hasty article comes from Sanaullah Baloch in the wake of the target killing of his close party leader Habib Jalib Baloch who was murdered in Quetta last Wednesday.

We regret depriving our English language readers from enjoying this excellent article. The Urdu article was so well written that we could not resist it.

    A lesson in history, a tired lesson I would say. ” sayasat ka aam talebeilm”. An ordinary political worker if that’s what you mean. You sir have maligned every ordinary political worker affiliated with a political struggle however small or grand in scale. An ordinary political worker looks up to his/her leadership for guidance. In your case they have to apply for a visa and buy a ticket to come and look up to you. Your article does not do any justice to Jalib’s memory. He stayed with his people and fought for their rights shoulder to shoulder with them.. What makes you an extra ordinary political worker is your ability to escape when the going got tough. In that sense Jalib was not extra ordinary. He was an ordinary political worker, who chose to stand firm with his other ordinary political workers.

    Dear Irfan, I think you need to read Sana’s article carefuly “AAM” means “gernal” and more clearly it means ” political activists of different school of thought”.

    Second, We have to respect our leaders, I can smell some thing wrong in your opinion that all Baloch political leadership should be exposed to Pakistani agencies as soft target.

    If a Nawab and Nawabzada, Sardar or Sardar Zada lives in exile, that is acceptable to you but if a middle class articulat Baloch work for Baloch cause with passion, that is not acceptable to us”.

    I think no political workers need to take a ticket and visit their leades, Sana and Akhtar Mengal are always among their people. Sana’s english writings in DAWN, News, Daily Times are great source of courage, information, lobbying and asset to Baloch diplomacy.

    If a useless and a visionless leader is based in Balochistan and doing nothing, its much better to sit in little secure enviorment and guide your nation.

    Wasalam,
    Rasool Jan

    Sana represents the sane and sincere class of political activists. His analysis is always very cogent and concise. I fear for his life, keeping in mind the trend of the recent past. I pray for resumption of peace and increase in the march towards real political struggle.

    Dear Mr Gichki,

    First of all a nawab, nawabzada, sardar or sardarzada, for me is not even acceptable to live in Balochistan, let alone in exile.. Second I have every right to express my views.. If Sana is in exile just because he is scared for his life, then I would say its an excuse to escape the heat. What Sana is doing for the Baloch Nation is simple journalism.. If he had been kicked out of the country then I would have understood his exile, but that is not the case, he chose to leave and live a life in the luxury that every Baloch mother asks for her children and that my honorable sir is Security.. Jalib did not leave, he chose to stay with his people. Balochistan is our home and you do not leave your home and leave your family at the mercy of your enemy, just because you were threatened. I say if you so wish to call your self a leader than lead from the front. Otherwise take every woman, child and qamash with you. that’s what Khair Bux Mari did. There are hundreds who can be articulate, who spread ink on paper day and night, but are not called leaders. They are given a status in the society which they deserve. We either call them clerks, munshis, journalists, teachers, etc etc. It is when people of these professions decide to lead, then they are called leaders.. Arafat struggled to come back to his home land, Castro took a few men and a boat to come back and fight with and for his people. In my book leaders get out only when they are kicked out. self exile is a tool alien to leaders. Live Free Or Die.. Its not Live Free Or Leave

    Please before leaving a comment read what I have to say… I apologize to Mr Gichki, to any and all, and specially to Sana for my harsh and stupid words. I am hurt, sad, and purely heart broken by this incident. I saw in Jalib what I wanted to see in a leader who represents the Baloch Nation, an educated, self made man of the masses. He was not a Mari, a Bugti, a Bizenjo, Raisani etc. He was only a Baloch and a decent human being. What I wanted to say when I read Sana’s article is not what I wrote. I wanted Sana to share some memories of Jalib with us. I wanted to imagine Jalib smiling, laughing, making simple the complex issues of politics, economics, law and culture. I wanted Sana to tell me in some way that Jalib lives. I wanted Sana to tell me hold your tears cause Jalib had made sure there will be more like him. Sana is off course an exceptional leader who wants to be away from home, no one. Sana please some body bring an end to this. How much blood, how many more souls. Why does the establishment, the agencies not realize we are not asking for much. Your actions are making the matters worse in fact have made it ugly.. I once again apologize to Sana and to all for hurting your feelings.. It might take years or even more but
    Almighty has made a system in which justice will always prevail…
