US bill on Balochistan sovereignty is the reflection of two broad facts.
1- The uncontrolled interfence of US in Pakistan.
2- The vulnerability of federal units of Pakistan.
US has to interfere because it is super power. This assumption as projected by our policymakers has done the real damage. Now US is directly or indirectly interfering in state affairs. And we can do nothing except commenting on it.
Why has federation of Pakistan become vulnerable? It has been done because less powerful groups are overpowered by more powerful groups.
Powerful groups intentionally ignored the restraints of power. The way Balochistan has been treated for the last sixty years is miserable. Gas was discovered in 1952 in Sui. And Quetta got gas in 1987. The whole country was given gas but its own locals did not get it. We conducted atomic tests in Chagai. Millions were affected by these explosions. But we do not want to see the miseries of baloch because we are not affected by this gross injustice.
Now government claims that there is foreign involvement in Balochistan crisis. Foreign agents can only enter in fortress when defence is weak or becomes weak. It is the state's responsibility to provide security to Balochistan instead of blaming others. Unless state owns its responsibilties the situation in Balochistan remains worse.
