Govt bent on pushing Balochistan into trouble: Akbar Bugti
DERA BUGTI: The Chairman of the Jamhoori Watan Party Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti has blamed the government of pushing Balochistan into more trouble, instead of encouraging conducive and peaceful dialogue.

While talking to the press, at Dera Bugti, he said that government had started its military operations in the area to snatch Balochi land, and we would defend our right to "total sovereignty" to death.

He said that for this purpose "we would welcome anybody, India or even devil himself."

He chided the government for considering of building cantonments and airfields, as the only forms of development.

He also denied that Sardars do not allow any welfare in their regions. There are 300 schools, and one college in the area, besides numerous hospitals and dispensaries in the region. The college was under the control of FC, who have converted it into military base, and forced all the students to flee.

He blamed the government of taking no conducive step for the development of the province, and merely trying to subjugate the Baloch by force, like The British forces of pre-independence days.

Replying to a question he said that, no doubt warring Balochis are no match for the immensely powered and huge army facing them, but we would fight till the getting "our rights".

Replying to another question, he said Musharraf had apologized to the Balochis for all the discrimination they had faced, but that turned out to be just a face wash. The government’s quest for "occupation of natural resources" which "belong to "us", is in full swing.

Replying to a question about leaving his base in Dera Bugti, he said that he was braving the shells and mortars along with his tribesmen, as he was around according to his military strategy.

Replying to a question about BLA, he said that the organization had full support of Balochi masses as well as "God Almighty himself!"

He informed the press that so far about 50 persons of the tribe have died and about 150 wounded, including women and children.
