Islamabad: It does not matter how bad is the situation in Balochistan and how inconsiderately we have neglected Baloch lands and people over the past half a century or so, but the moment US congress bill makes the headlines, the entire Pakistan seems to have erupted in unison to condemn Washington for stretching its police-man’s role over Pakistan’s internal affairs.
On one side, there is feeling inside the Pakistan’s uniformed establishment that this is yet another joint venture of the Obama-administration and Pentagon to further pressurize Pakistan Army while on the other side even the political forces which till now were considering that Obamities are favoring them for the love of democracy have also felt ditched. Since both are having a pitched battle of nerves between themselves since OBL strike, both are condemning the US for their own ends.
With the missing persons case and finding the mutilated bodies on roadsides in Balochistan and other parts of the country resonating (or may be languishing) in the corridors of the superior judiciary of Pakistan and Chief of Army Staff Gen. Ashfaq Kiyani also offering the political dispensation of the country to come forward and sort out this mess instead of making the Army a punching bag, the onus has squarely and fairly rests on political actors now.
