The reall irony in my opinion is that these days, our Pashtun nationalist politicians are not showing the courage to come forward and demand an independent Pashtunistan just like the Balochs are doing for Balochistan. Instead of joining hands with their Baloch brothers to be free from the clutches of Pakistan once and for all, these ‘nationalist Pashtuns’ seem to be siding with the Imperialist Punjabis. Yesterday, these same leaders and politicians (i.e. Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party and others) were writing on the walls “Death to Punjabi Imperialism” but today, these very people are giving statements condemning the legitimate killing of some Punjabi spies who are killed by Baloch freedom fighters as a reaction to the Punjabi/Paki atrocities and injustices in Balochistan. This is leading into a conflict between the Balochs and Pashtuns, something exactly wished by the Punjabi occupiers. Our Pashtun politicians unintentionally or otherwise are playing into the hands of the Punjabis. They can at least remain silent or neutral if they cannot help the Balochis but siding with the Punjabis is totally unacceptable to the majority of Pashtuns. It is a tantamount to a gross violation of the basic tenets on which Pashtun nationalism is founded. It is for this reason that most of the real Pashtun nationalists who believe in principles are now disillusioned with Pashtun-khwa MAP and leaving the party and I am one of them.

The intelligence and wisdom of the Baloch leaders on the other hand is really admirable. They have never given anti-Pashtun statements and have always called pashtuns their friends and brothers. The same should be done by our Pashtun leaders. They should wake up and differentiate their friends from their foes.

Throughout the history, the Balochs and Pashtuns have always remain friends. They have joined hands to defend their respective lands from foreign invaders (many Balochis fought alongside the Pashtuns in the first and second Anglo-Afghan wars). The stinky black Punjabis can never be Pashtun’s friends. They never were and never will be. It is too sad to see that those advocating equal rights for the oppressed nations from the PONM platform yesterday are today standing for the rights of the Punjabi and Hazara settlers in Quetta. It is time to wake up or it will be too late. If our Pashtun politicians maintained the same line, I am afraid a time will come when all other nations except Pashtuns would get their independence from Pakistan while we Pashtuns will be the only people living under the rule of these oily Chuadaries.

About the problem of Quetta if Balochistan gets independence. I think a better solution would be to (peacefully) divide Quetta into Pashtun and Baloch sectors. Though I would not recommend Quetta as a capital of a future free Balochistan any way. It should be a place like Kalat or Gawadar. Quetta will lose its current importance once Balochistan is independent. It will change merely into a border town.

And a request from Baloch brothers. Please do not label all Pashtuns as opportunists. It is only a few who are so. Majority of Pashtuns are sympathetic to the Baloch cause. It is only that our politicians have proved traitors and hypocrites.
