He said this is a new and dangerous trend that is being promoted in Balochistan by the present illigitimate, unconstitutional and undemocratic military regime, to keep its exploitation of the natural resources oppression of the Baloch People, involving political and nationalist Baloch leaders in murder cases (like Nawab Khair Bukhsh Marri ), just declaring political and nationalist persons against Islam to create sectarian hatred and trible conflicts among Baloch tribes to prolong its rule.

He said Haji Abdul Rehman who is seventy (70) year old man and belongs to a respectable tribe Shahwani and a senior Baloch nationalist, who spent eight years in exile in Afghanistan during General Ayub Khan Military rule in sixties and later on his return to Pakistan he was arrested and sentenced life imprisonment. But fortunately after the General elections in 1970, in which National Awami Party won the elections in Balochistan and formed the Government under the veteran Baloch Nationalist Leader Sardar Athaullah Mengal, he was released after spending two and half year in famous MACH JAIL (prison).

It is strange that a person who fought his whole life against the injustices and discriminative behavior of the Punjabi rulers against innocent and deprived people of Balochistan, how can he do any thing against Islam.

The book which he had written three years before, there is no word in it against Islam. It is just a Tafseer of some SURATS and this is not any crime if you write a TAFSEER, as there are many Tafseers from different writers.

He said this is a conspiracy against his family as being a nationalist and belonging to the most vocal party, the Balochistan National Party. He said that this conspiracy was prepared after a protest rally was organized by Balochs and Sindhis in front of Pakistani Embassy in Washington D.C, in which government’s discriminative and oppressive policies towards Balochs and Sindhis were strongly condemned by me and other speakers and a memorandum was also handed over to the ambassador. 

It seems that this is the instant and cowardly reaction of the Government against my family. He Said after failing in its conspiracies through military actions and bribing the people now the government want to create hatred among the Balochs in the name of Islam blaming and accusing noble, respected and baloch nationalists of blasphemy. He warned the government and the concerned authorities that if some thing went wrong with Haji Abdul Rehman all of them will be responsible for the consequences.

He appealed to all the human right organizations that Haji Abdul Rehman Shahwani’s case needs immediate concerns, as he is a prisoner of conscious.He is a senior political leader, intlectual and belongs to a respected political family in Balochistan. Now Government has consciously put his life on stake.

He also appealed to all nationalists, democratic political organizations of Balochistan to take strong stance on this unique matter otherwise any one who opposes the Government will be declared un-Islamic.
