US house committee hearing on Balochistan: Oversight and Investigations – by Mureed Bizenjo

Let’s think about creating a Balochistan in southern part of Pakistan, said Congress republican Louie Gohmert, who completely backed the idea of independant Balochistan. Many people in Pakistan at present are not aware of the fact that Balochistan was invaded and forcibly annexed on March 27, 1948 (Seven and a half months after the creation of Pakistan), against the wishes of Baloch people and the two houses of Baloch parliaments who voted unanimously against the accession with Pakistan. That very day is mourned and marked as “Black day” in the land of miseries (Balochistan)
After nearly six and a half decades of annexation and prolonged journey of injustice, of discrimination, death and hopelessness, Today Baloch voice was heard in the fortress of United States, in a congressional hearing convened by the congress republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, focusing Balochistan, which was attended and rejoiced by the Baloch diaspora and pro-Balochistan activists. The Committee’s unprecedented hearing on Balochistan is the witness of of ongoing uncared-for Balochistan crisis. Rohrabacher has previously stated in one of his articles “Perhaps we should even consider support for a Balochistan carved out of Pakistan to diminish radical power there (in Pakistan)” where as the US house committee hearing has definately annoyed Pakistan’s government considering it an internal matter, and some years ago Pakistan government had refused to allow the US to open a consulate in Balochistan.
The hearing held in Rayburn House Office Building February 8, 2012 in Washington DC USA, chaired by Dana Rohrabacher. Key witnesses to speak in the hearing were C. Christine Fair (Ph.D. Assistant Professor Georgetown University), Mr. Ralph Peters (Military Analyst and Author), Mr. T. Kumar Director (International Advocacy Amnesty International USA), M. Hossein Bor (Ph.D. Counsel Entwistle & Cappucci, LLP), Mr. Ali Dayan Hasan (Pakistan Director, Asia Division Human Rights Watch)
Full scale Baloch genocide far exceeding to what Selig. S. Harrison said about a slow motion genocide two years ago, and the indigenous people’s deprivation of right to self-determination were the most significant points of discussion which were also agreed upon by all the key witnesses in the hearing. There is substantial evidence the fact that the people of Balochistan are deprived of their right to self-determination, they are being tortured forefully abducted and dumped in remote areas, over the past years there has been a gruesome increase in these human rights abuses, also highlighted by various human rights organizations (Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Asian Human Rights Commission)
Ironically out of all the witnesses Mr M. Hossein Bor was the only Baloch representative present in the hearing reflecting the true picture of the Balochistan Crisis. Mr Hossein highlighted the forceful annexation of the Balochistan province calling it an occupied territory, with his astute observation Mr Hossein reported the actual number of extra-judicial killings and fored abductions by the state sponsored institutions, he said “Extra-judical killings include 23 bullet-riddled bodies found in the first month of this year (2012), from 2001 till date around 4000 baloch have been disappeared” to which Chairman Rohrabachr expressed astonishment, in 5 minutes allowed by the chairman Mr Hossein discussed a brief but and articulated history of Balochistan highlighting the historic Durand line and Goldsmith line of 18th century, he also mentioned the Baloch insurgencies and uprisings of 1948, 1958, 1973, & 2005 till date, these insurgencies have been dealt with force and brutal military operations in which thousands of Baloch were killed. In the recent past, in 2011 alone atleast 300 bullet riddled bodies (on an average one each-day) were found, Mr Hossein also argued that the Humanright abuses were the main impediment in the process of dialogue in the province.
Christine Fair, a fairly controversial representative and an intense supporter of Pakistan with anti-India stance was also amongst the speakers. Just a week before the hearing she tweeted that “The ethnic Baloch are a minority in Balochistan” she also accused Dr Ralph peters a fellow witness of being a “nut”. Dr Ralph Peters is also known as the “Map re-drawing man” who In a June 2006 article titled “Blood borders: How a better Middle East would look“, conducted a thought experiment by changing the borders in the Middle East, wherein Balochistan was shown as an independant territory covering Baloch population of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan, which are the historic borders of greater Balochistan.
Christince Fair in her five mintues talk voiced against extra-judicial executions and various human rights abuses, she also refuted her tweet regarding her question of Baloch majority in the province saying “Baloch are the largest ethnic group in the province” She also highlighted the target killings of Shia muslims in the province by extremist millitant groups, there is enough evidence of millitant groups (Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Sipah-e-Sahaba) backed by Pakistan millitary and Intelligence agencies perpetrating against the ethnich shia minority in Balochistan.
The only representative from Pakistan Mr Ali Dayan hassan who is also the Pakistan director of Human Rights Watch, was also provided an opportunity to speak at the US house committe hearing, he clearly stated that he being HRW representative takes no position on the Independance of Balochistan, he further added that there is not just one but multiple actors including state and non-state actors perpetrating in Balochistan involved in human rights abuses, he also said “At-least 40% of the population of Balochistan are non-Baloch” .
It is widely known that Baloch because of their small population are a minority in Pakistan, being 4% but claiming nearly half of the country’s geographic land. In Balochistan, the ethnic Baloch are atleast 75% of the total population, the southern part being a Pashtun majority, a part of British Balochistan to which Balochistan and the ethnic-Baloch historically does not have any claim, other minority ethnic groups based in Balochistan include Pashtuns, Hazaras, Urdu-speaking, Punjabi, and Sindhis. The province is sub-divided in 30 districts out of which only 9 disctricts (Ziarat, Zhob, Pashin, Quetta, Chaman, Mosakhel, Qila abdulah & Qila saifullah, Loralai) are of Pashtun majority and the remaining 21 being Baloch populated areas.
Mr Dayan’s testimony submitted to the US house committee chairman also stated ” Militancy in Balochistan has been fueled by ethnic Baloch anger over the Pakistani government’s efforts to harness local mineral and fossil fuel resources, maintain large numbers of troops in the province, and construct the Gwadar deep-sea port at the mouth of the Persian Gulf with non-Baloch workers”. If we go back half a decade we actually find out that the current insurgency was never against ” government’s efforts to harness local mineral, or against construction of the Gawadar-port”, the region is currently going through its fifth insurgency, which was ignited after the brutal assassination of Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti in 2006 by General Musharraf in his dictatorial regime who before the brutal assassination openly said ” “We (millitary) will hit them (Baloch) in such a way they wouldn’t even know what hit them” The aftermath of General sahab’s millitary operation executing Nawab Bugti and state’s conolization policies which can be seen without manifestation are reasons that transformed a rights movement into a freedom movement, harnessing the resources of Balochistan, maintaining large number of troops and construction of Gawadar port are secondary issues.
Before the hearing was aired live, Pakistani embassy in Washington held that it has taken strong notice of the scheduled meeting and Pakistani officials claimed that some foreign hands are involved in fanning the violence in the province along the Afghan border. Instead of inventing another conspiracy theory out of the legitimate hearing, Pakistan government and officials should rather reconsider their colonial policies lodged against the Baloch, If Balochistan had any hopes from the state, ‘independant’ judiciary, or media, this issue would not have been picked up by the Republicans who may aswell regain power in forthcomming elections. The ordinary people of Balochistan have been tolerant for six prolonged decades, witnessing horrific executions, endless stories of deception, and shallow promises, but this day in history will be marked as a new begining of diplomacy voicing the Baloch rights, new era of endurance and expectations. The Baloch might have to pay a high price for being heard but will hope that justice will be ‘served’ than ‘denied’
Excellent analysis.
Excellent post. What we saw yesterday was a shameful act of misrepresentations and false neutrality.

Wish people know that the Baloch know more than them what are Human rights and what are politics.
I think Mr Hossein Bor’s testimony was much more objective and realistic than other participants.
where are these population figures coming from? source?
This is all which is going on on Baluchistan is the net result of tyranny of Pakistan’s military Establishment which have done since last 6 decades…..Our establishment never consider baloch a human they always consider the strategic piece of land which is fruitful for our military’s future life line…
it will be again a big shame if Baluchistan become the Greater Blochistan like Bangladash…….it shows that our military never teach a lesson from history……History says that where there is security states and the military rules that states fails trmendously

FO takes exception to US Congress hearing on Balochistan
Wednesday, February 08, 2012

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has conveyed its serious concern over the US Congress committee’s meeting to be held on Wednesday exclusively on the issue of Balochistan.
Foreign Office Spokesman Abdul Basit told the news agency Pakistani embassy in Washington has taken exception to the scheduled meeting of the US Congress committee on foreign affairs to deliberate the issue of Balochistan.
The official website of US Congress displayed the notification and topic of the meeting. A Republican Congressman Dana Rohrabacher will chair the hearing. Rohrabacher recently, in an article, expressed support for an independent Balochistan. “Perhaps we should even consider support for a Balochistan carved out of Pakistan to diminish radical power there (in Pakistan),” Rohrabacher wrote in his article.
“Our embassy in Washington is already in touch with the organisers of the hearing of the committee. They know how we feel about it. Our concerns have been forcefully conveyed in Washington,” Basit said when he was asked about US legislator’s planned deliberation over the most sensitive issue of Pakistan.

کتاب ’بلوچستان ان شیڈو آف افغانستان‘ بلوچ قوم پرستی اور بلوچ سرکشی کی تاریخ پر ایک بائیبل سجھی جاتی ہے
’ہم لوگ آزادی لینے جارہے ہیں، آپ لوگ ہمارا ساتھ دیتے ہیں تو تھینک یو ویری مچ ۔ اگر نہیں تو تب بھی ہم اپنی آزادی لے کر رہیں گے۔‘
یہ الفاظ کہنہ مشق بلوچ دانشور اور شاعر و قوم پرست نظریات کے حامل ڈاکٹر ملک ٹوگی نے کوئی آٹھ برس قبل امریکی سینیٹ کی اسی عمارت میں ایک سماعت کے دوران کہے تھے جہاں اب گزشتہ بدھ کو بلوچستان پر عوامی سماعت ہوئی جس میں کئی امریکی سینیٹرز اور دانشور و تجزیہ کار کسی نہ کسی طرح ڈاکٹر ملک ٹوگی جیسوں کے خیالات و جذبات کی عکاسی کرتے لگے۔
اسی بارے میں
امریکہ میں بلوچستان پر بحث، پاکستان کو تشویش
سینیٹ میں امریکی اقدام پر احتجاج
بلوچستان کی حقیقت کون بتائے گا!
متعلقہ عنوانات
پاکستان, امریکہ, بلوچستان
کلِک امریکہ میں بلوچستان پر بحث، پاکستان کو تشویش
لفظ بلوچ، بلوچستان، اور بلوچستان کے ساتھ زیادتیوں کی باز گشت امریکی ایوانوں تک کوئی ایک دن یا چند برسوں میں نہیں پہنچی، ان کے پہنچانے میں کئي برس، عشرے اور بلوچ اور بلوچوں کے ہمدرد و دوست امریکیوں کی عمریں لگی ہیں۔
بلوچ دردِ دل کا بیج بونے والوں کا یہ درخت اسے لگانے والوں کو ابھی سایہ تو نہیں دے رہا لیکن تناور اور بڑا ضرور ہوگیا ہے۔
پھر وہ بلوچ درد رکھنے والا دل ایرانی بلوچ کا ہو کہ پاکستانی بلوچ کا یا چاہے وہ عراقی بلوچ ہو کہ خلیجی بلوچ۔ ذکر ان کا ضروری ہے جنہوں نے یہ بُوٹا امریکہ میں لگایا تھا۔
ڈاکٹر مالک ٹوگی شاید پاکستانی اور ایرانی بلوچوں میں پہلے بلوچ تھے جو سیاسی جلاوطن ہوکر امریکہ پہنچے تھے۔
ایرانی بلوچستان میں پیدا ہونے والے مالک ٹوگی نے اپنی جوانی کا بڑا عرصہ کراچی اور پاکستانی بلوچستان میں بھی گزارا۔ ڈاکٹر مالک ٹوگی بلوچ قوم پرستی کی تحریک سے وابستہ ہونے کی وجہ سے پہلے پاکسانی حکمرانوں کے عتاب کا شکار ہوکر اپنے آبائي وطن ایرانی بلوچستان چلے گئے لیکن وہاں بھی وہ شاہ ایران کی ساواک کی نظروں سے زیادہ عرصہ بچ نہیں سکے اور ان سے جان بچاتے ہوئے امریکہ پہنچے۔
ملاؤں اور ملٹری کا غلبہ
بلوچستان پر سماعت کے دوران فقط پاکستانی بلوچستان پر نہیں بلکہ ایرانی بلوچستان میں انسانی حقوق کی خلاف وزریوں کا بھی ذکر کیا گیا ہے۔ سینیٹر روباگر نے سیستان میں سیاسی نظم پر ملاؤں اور پاکستانی بلوچستان میں ملٹری کا غلبہ ہونے کی بھی بات کی
دلچسپ بات یہ ہے کہ ڈاکٹر مالک ٹوگی امریکہ کے اس وقت کے زبردست دوست شاہ ایران کی حکومت کے سیاسی منحرف کے طور امریکہ پہنچے تھے۔
ایک اور دلچسپ بات یہ ہے کہ حسین حقانی اور بہت سے جماعتی منحرفین کی طرح ڈاکٹر مالک ٹوگی بھی کراچی میں زمانہ طالب علمی میں جماعت اسلامی کی طلبہ تنظیم اسلامی جمعیت طلبہ کے سرگرم کارکن رہے لیکن جلد ہی لیاری اور کوئٹہ کے بلوچ سیاسی اکابرین کے ہتھے چڑہ گئے اور جماعت کو خیرباد کہہ کر بلوچ قوم پرست سیست و بلوچ ادب سے جڑ گئے۔
ڈاکٹر مالک ٹوگی محنت کش تھے اور اپنی روزی روٹی کے لیے کچھ عرصہ وہ پاکستان کے محمکۂ اطلاعات میں بھی ملازم رہے لیکن دوران ملازمت خیر بخش مری اور اکبر بگلٹی جیسے بلوچ رہنماؤں سے ملاقاتوں پر پاکستانی ریاستی اداروں نے ان کی زندگی اجیرن کردی اور وہ ایران چلے گئے۔
مشی گن یونیورسٹی سے مذہبی علوم میں ڈاکٹریٹ کرنے والے ڈاکٹر ٹوگی کی ڈیزرٹیشن یا تحقیقی مقالے کا انتساب انہوں نے سلمان رشدی کو کیا ہوا ہے۔ ڈاکٹر ٹوگی بلوچی کے بہت اچھے شاعر ہیں اور اکبر بگٹی سے ان کی پرانی دوستی تھی۔
شاید ڈاکٹر ٹوگی ان چند اوائلی بلوچ دانشوروں اور قوم پرست کارکنوں میں سے ایک ہیں جنہوں نے انیس سو ستر کی دہائی میں ذوالفقار علی بھٹو کی حکومت کے دوران امریکی محقق سیلگ ہیریسن کو بلوچ سرکشی اور آپریشن پر کام کرنے کو دعورت دی تھی۔
بلوچستان پر سماعت کے دوران فقط پاکستانی بلوچستان پر نہیں بلکہ ایرانی بلوچستان میں انسانی حقوق کی خلاف وزریوں کا بھی ذکر کیا گیا ہے
لیکن ڈاکٹر سیلگ ہیریسن بلوچ قوم پرستوں اور بلوچ سیاست کے شاگردوں میں مالک ٹوگی سے زیادہ مقبول رہے ہیں۔ بلکہ میں سیلگ ہیرسن کو بلوچ دل رکھنے والا امریکی کہوں گا-
انیس سو اسّی کی دہائی میں مکمل ہوکر چھپنے والی ان کی کتاب ’بلوچستان ان شیڈو آف افغانستان‘ بلوچ قوم پرستی اور بلوچ سرکشی کی تاریخ پر ایک بائیبل سجھی جاتی ہے۔ یہ سیلگ ہریسن تھے جو معروضیت پسند ہوتے ہوئے بھی امریکہ سمیت دنیا بھر میں بلوچ نقطۂ نظر کو آج تک پہنچاتے رہے ہیں۔ بلوچ قوم پرستی اور سرکشی پر ایک اور مقالہ جرمن زبان میں ہے۔ جو کسی بلوچ قوم پرست کی ڈاکٹریٹ کا مقالہ ہے۔
بلوچ سیاسی تاریخ کا انسانی المیہ یہ ہے کہ کئی عشروں سے ڈاکٹر سیلگ ہیرسین بھٹو، ٹکاخان کی فوج کشی کے دنوں میں چمالانگ میں مریوں اور فوج کے درمیاں ہونے والی خونریزی پر لکھ رہا تھا اور آج بھی اسی چمالانگ جیسے علاقوں میں آپریشن جاری ہے۔
ہرمز کے پانیوں سے لیکر تربت کے ساحل اور لیاری تک کردوں کی طرح بھٹکتے یا باسی بلوچوں کا دنیا بھر کے ایوانوں میں، جب انٹرنیٹ اور سوشل میڈیا بھی نہیں تھا، آواز پہنجآنے والا ایک بلوچ قوم پرست قادر بخش نظامانی تھا-
حیدرآباد سندھ کے قریب گاؤں قیصر نظامانی میں جنم لیا اور لندن میں جلاطنی کے دوران فوت ہو کر لیاری کے میوہ شاہ قبرستان میں دفن ہونے والے قادر بخش نظامانی جدید بلوچ قوم پرستی اور تہتر کی بلوچ سرکشی کے نظریے کے خالق بتائے جاتے ہیں۔
کئی عشرے لگے
لفظ بلوچ، بلوچستان، اور بلوچستان کے ساتھ زیادتیوں کی باز گشت امریکی ایوانوں تک کوئی ایک دن یا چند برسوں میں نہیں پہنچی، ان کے پہنچانے میں کئي برس، عشرے اور بلوچ اور بلوچوں کے ہمدرد و دوست امریکیوں کی عمریں لگی ہیں
گزشتہ بدھ کو بلوچستان پر سماعت کے موقع پر امریکی کانگریس کی سماعت میں معروف امریکی دفاعی تجزیہ نگار رالف پیٹرس کہہ رہے تھے ’انسانی تاریخ میں آزادی کیلیے لڑی جانیوالی جنگوں میں امریکی المیہ یہ ہے کہ ہم نے ان یورپی قوتوں کی سرحدوں کی حفاظت کرنے کیلیے وہاں جانیں دینے خون بہانے کے لیے اپنی فوجیں بھجیں جو سرحدیں ان یورپی قوتوں نے متعین کی تھیں جن کے خلاف ہم نے آزادی لی تھی۔ پاکستان کا بھی معاملہ ایسا ہی ہے۔‘
بلوچستان پر سماعت کے دوران فقط پاکستانی بلوچستان پر نہیں بلکہ ایرانی بلوچستان میں انسانی حقوق کی خلاف وزریوں کا بھی ذکر کیا گیا ہے۔ سینیٹر روباگر نے سیستان میں سیاسی نظم پر ملاؤں اور پاکستانی بلوچستان میں ملٹری کا غلبہ ہونے کی بھی بات کی۔
مجھے امریکہ میں پرانے بنگلہ دیشیوں کی باتیں یاد آئيں کہ وہ کس طرح انیس سو ستر کی دہائی میں امریکی ایوانوں کی حمایت حاصل کرنے کیلیے تگ و دو کیا کرتے تھے۔
بلوچ، ایک ایسی آبادی جس کے جوانوں اور بوڑھوں کو لاپتہ کر کے قتل کیا جارہا ہو اور اس کی اکثریت لفظ ’آزادی‘ روز مرہ کے معمولات میں بار بار استعمال کرتی ہو تو یہ سب کچھ خلاء میں چلائی جانیوالی بائی سائیکل نہیں بلکہ دیوار پر لکھی ہوئی صاف تحریر ہے

Its not the job of Human Rights organizations to highlight the demand of Baloch independence. Rather its the job of political workers, the socialists cadres of PPP, Baloch nationalists etc.
Its the failure on our part.
Human Rights as a portfolio is a bourgoies institution , it doesnt differentiate between the oppressed and the oppressors so acts of resistance are also considered human rights abuse by them. i can understand Mr Dayan testimony. He is doing is job. Thats whats his job is.
Its the failure on part of Baloch nationalists, PPP and progressive political workers why they dont have Balochistan on their agenda.
Why they have no position on right of self determination, or why they dont want to discuss these political options with Baloch youth
Why Mr Raisani is heading a puppet regime without power, only to take blames for the dirty job which peoples party has nothing to do with. Which is against our fundamental myth.
Lets put things in perspective.
Murder of innocent punjabi , Sariki and Kashmiri working class in Balochistan is as un acceptible as the murder n torture of Baloch youth by state. The question is in front of Baloch resistan, they want to take a progressive route of struggle or they want to adopt a ethno-fascist route. And for all of us progressive are we ready to give a progressive alternative to Baloch youth?.If yes than we have to offend our boses in Islamic republic, than we have to concede the right of self determination as a viable option. Than we have to ask Mr Zardari is he ready to fight with the establishment. or Does he want to continue his reconciliation with establishment and at the same time get stabbs on his back by them?
This non sense of kissing the generals and than crying when they bite has to end.
The results of extention our leaders gave , the bitter fruit of this act was very visible in supreme court today. i hope PM Gilani has learned some lesson
As an American I find this all rather interesting. I feel totally won over to the Baloch cause and their demands for independence.
I shall write my congressmen today to ask for their support of greater Balochistan. The oppression by Pakistan’s out of control military complex is insidious and WRONG.
Long live Balochs!
