Nawab Bugti is alive in
the hearts of the Baloch people I regret for
not being able to attend this gathering today, please accept my
apologies. Speech of Mehran Baluch delivered by a
colleague 26 august in London We must observe 4 days
mourning, because the battle of Karbala (Tratani) started on 22nd of
August and continued until 26. From 22nd to 26, what happened with Nawab
Bugti and his companions is a mystery and if any place in Balochistan
can be equated with Karbala that is the battle of Tratani, where Nawab
Bugti and his companions (Baloch Sarmachaars) have fought four long days
battle with Pakistan’s Punjabi army. “Those four days in which Nawab
Bugti fought against aggressor (the Pakistani army) forces should be
remembered as tragic and black days in the history of Baloch nation,”
Aug 26 was a tragic and black day for the Baloch people as
‘Dada-i-Baloch (grandfather) Nawab Akbar Bugti’ had sacrificed his life
while fighting for independence of Balochistan for the dignity of Baloch
people.
“Baloch nation should express hatred against shameless Pakistani army
and especially against the present military rulers and their
stooges/agents involved in the killing of the ‘Grandfather of Baloch’
and hundreds of other Baloch elderly, children and women.
Although the government had announced the death of Nawab Bugti, no one
had seen his body or confirmed his death. “How can we accept that he is
not among us? Nawab Bugti is alive in the hearts of the Baloch people.”
Therefore we still do not consider Nawab Bugti perished he is still of
victim of Pakistani army’s mischief, for us he is still alive yet
missing. Thus we are not celebrating an anniversary of death but we are
mourning the first year of his lose.
The sufferings and sacrifices by Nawab Bugti and his Friends cannot be
quantified but must be acknowledged and appreciated by every patriot
Baloch who considers himself as a Baloch with dignity.
We must not forget the 40 brave Baloch who sacrificed their lives
protecting our National leader. Some are still in Pakistani army
captivity as claimed by the Pakistan army in August last year.
The Punjabi army of Pakistan the mohajir general (criminal) will be held
accountable for the atrocities and human rights violation committed in
Balochistan.
Nawab Akbar Bugti had a dream, a dream of unity and of self-rule. For
having such rebellious dreams, the occupying forces could not allow a
79-year-old man to have a natural death. He was targeted to kill these
dreams and his ideology. The enemy has succeeded in killing the man, but
his dream lives on. These dreams have spread to every corners of the
world. Today every Baloch carries these dreams in their hearts. I hope
even each one of us sitting in this room is carry the dreams of Nawab
Bugti.
The martyrdom of Shaheed Dr Khalid Ali Baloch and Shaheed Dil Jan Baloch
on 8 August 2007 is a proof that these dreams are not dead. Our mothers
and sisters with our youngest have come to streets to express their
solidarity with the revolutionary forces of Balochistan.
Today if we want to honour and respect Nawab Bugti, we must follow his
footprints. We must honour his unity call and unite for a single
programme that should have a signal objective Baloch Nation must have
the will and courage to revenge his lose and the only revenge, which can
heal our wounds and ease our pain, is to get our lost independence.
In end, we appeal the international community and the British govt to
press the Pakistani government to treat the surviving captures and
baloch political prisoners in accordance with Geneva conventions for
prisoners of war. 26.8.07 |
