Nothing but freedom from Pakistan would pacify Baloch people : Brahmdagh Bugti

Pervez Musharraf Islamabad, Sep.29 (ANI): Baloch Republican Party (BRP) chief Brahmdagh Bugti has rejected negotiations with the Pakistan government, saying the Baloch people want nothing less than freedom.

When asked that whether his party was in contact with the Pakistani government to resolve the Baloch crises, Bugti said there was not any need to contact the government, as the Baloch people have only one demand that of freedom from Pakistan’s suppression.

“Not at all. I have no contact with the government. We don’t need to contact them. We need nothing from Pakistan. We want them to leave our land and release our people from their torture chambers,” Bugti said during an interview to the Dawn.

When asked that whether he supported the calls by several Baloch politicians and activists to try Pervez Musharraf for his grandfather Akbar Khan Bugti’s killing, Brahmdagh Bugti said Musharraf was only a ‘an instrument’.

“Musharraf has been an instrument of the establishment and not an individual who has acted on his own. Simply trying him is not likely to change the overall situation of the Baloch,” he said.

Akbar Khan Bugti, the former Chief Minister and Governor of Balochistan, was killed during a military operation in August 2006. (ANI)
