Bugti; Beyond the Realms of Death

Right now I am sitting infront of the TV, watching the press conference given by the military spokesperson. One criticism I have to him being on the media is that is that why so late? It was a military operation and the military should have been making the press statements and holding press conferences.

Anyways on to the press conferece!

First he talked about the violence and law and order situation of different parts of Baluchistan and pointed out the places where the law and order situation is normal at the moment. Things which the media either didn’t mention or don’t exsist, but I am pretty sure with the current media power of the country anyone would be lying about easily verifiable news.

He also went into the history and talked about the crimes committed by the Bugti forces and the BLA, things which I mentioned in my yesterdays post and which the opposition had apparently forgotten. Fuckers! trying to score points at such a critical time of Pakistan’s history. Come to think of it, they might be the ones adding oomph to the critical level. The least they can do is not predict another 1971 for gods sake. That’s demoralizing the entire nation.

Some media personals asked why media hadn’t been given access to the cave, to this he replied that its open for them but the military won’t be responsible for people who want to go in. The cave had land mines inside and in the surrounding areas, maybe the reason civilians don’t have access to the area is because the area isn’t obviously. Heavy machine can’t enter the area either! Apart from this I think that since its all mountainous area, Bugti militants might still be present in the area and pose threat to the Army or civilians in the area.

People have criticized that why wasn’t he arrested or captured. Lets look at the facts, the Pakistan Army lost a Colonel, two Majors and three Captains. People of this level don’t usually take the front lines of the battle rather they direct and execute the attack. The fact that they were in the lead (along with captured Bugti guides) does say that maybe they were going in to talk and maybe try and capture Akbar Bugti.

Our opposition parties should not take this moment to score points against the govt. and cause a national disorder. Their raw statements on the media can cause major outrage not only in the already angry Bugti supporters but also in the supporters of those particular opposition or nationalist party.
