It is a matter of very serious concern that many of the people are being killed and trashed in our very own Pakistan on the bases of race and ethnicity.
The so-called libertation army is killing innocent Punjabis in Balochistan and in reaction Baloch students are being trashed and severely beaten in many educational institutions across Punjab. Just recently a Baloch student was so severely beaten in Faisalabad that he is still hospitalised with broken ribs and he may be not ever be able to walk on his feet..
The acts of both sides are alarming and precarious. Though only a very small section of population is involved in both acts of insanity but regretably the media is completely ignoring this issue.

with all due respect to balochis and balochistan
target killing is everywhere in the country.
BSO is a Baloch Student Organization that advocates the Independence of Balochistan, which has been occupied by Pakistan and Iran.
the student who was beaten in faisalabad is a member of BSO. it was more of a student -organization kind of fight.
some elements are giving it race and ethnic touch.
its not fair. i know many baloch students in Punjab university and and many Baloch employees. they are enjoying same rights as everyone enjoys.
i think one should not follow such elements. Balochis are our brothers and are Pakistanis.
media is ignoring it because it was just a fight at college level or hostel level between students.

First of all You should keep in mind that Baluchistanis are also Pakistanis..They should stop considering themselves as 'Baluchis"'only...secondly,our Youth is not biased or prejudiced,mostly foriegn elements are involved in these types of killings...The personal quarrel among the students is also one of the major causes of these demises...electronic media cant highlight this issue,because this act can further deteriorate the situation,print media has highlighted this issue through some columns...

Some Baloch from Balochistan are my friends. they are studying in BZU.Multan.
They feel, themselves, free and secure over there. the behavior of the students from Punjab, is very polite with them. Only the incident of Faisalabad doesn't show that punjabi students are biased toward balochi students.

Who is responsible for the current mess and what is the way out?

The unequal distribution of resources of Pakistan has created this situation.
Baloch think that they have not been treated well by the federal government and the other provinces of Pakistan. They also think, in a wrong way, that they are struggling for their rights. Killing of punjabi people is not struggle to get rights.

This is not the issue of uneven distribution of resoruces or some related things.. in fact this is the issue of destabilizing our country Pakistan. In my analysis there was a role of Mr. Richard Halbrooke in creation of many countries out of yogoslavia and same person is looking after the affairs of Afganistan and Pakistan... similarly in 1960-70s there was a tug of war for getting warm water linkage by the then USSR, who created some elements in Afghanistan and Pakistan as well. KGB was instrumental in creation of Baloch Liberation Army and Baloch Republican Army through Sherof Mari etc. these liberation movements were active in Balochistan but when USSR disintegrated these movements also settled down and there was ample peace and very less/virtually no action by these organizations. however, after 2000 these organizations resurfaced. now question arises why and how !

there were two elements, firstly the Kargil incident which was a great failure for inteligence organizations of India because they were unable to detect the designs of Pakistan in those mountains and when that issue failed/ended thn India planned to create insurgent movements in Pakistan and they actively started and planned these organizations.. similarly india also tried to create insurgency in Pakistan's Northern Areas.. you people would recall that in 1965 Pakistan launched operations Gibraltar and Grand Slam, though both were not succesful yet it had an impact on indian minds and she estalbihsed RAW and in subsequently india launched Mukti Baani etc. and succesfuly accomplished the task by seperation of East Paksitan..

coming back to the balochistan issue, the India resurfaced these BLA and BRA with the help of Russian agents and in my assesment USA or Israels involvement can also not be ruled out because that was the era of 9/11 and its repurcussions were off course deterimental on Pakistan.. ]

Summing up, this is the global agenda to destablize the country and our so called leaders irrespective of their political faction are just adding their shares.. certainly their share is towards decentralization instead of integration.. its high time that the people of Pakistan (Balochis, Pathan, Punjabi, Sindhi, Saraiki or Urdu speaking etc) should act pragmatically and dont be instruments/pawns of this heinious agenda and please dont think that any body/ethnicity is enemy to other ethnicity.. we all are brethren and we are standing united in all odds.. Pakistan Paindabad.

Balochi or Balochis is wrong term it is Baloch. Target killing is challenge to security forces in Balochistan. Despite deployment of Frontier Corps in Quetta, target killing is not checked yet. There is strict ban o pillion riding but killers successfully manage their task. They are highly trained and according doctors their weapon is 9mm pistol and they target in skull and chest.

There are fewer chances for the victim to survive. Most of the victims are Punjabi and Haza (Shia). Police failed even to protect themselves, one SP; several DSPs were killed in target killing including Provincial Education Minister among high profile targets. DIG Quetta and DPO Khuzdar were also targeted but they ware saved. This is totally the failure of Police to protect the citizens.

CCPO Quetta says, only solution for target killing is target killing of target killers. Police caught many killers red handed but later on they were released by the courts due to lack of evidence. Police is totally demoralized and lack qualitative leadership. Target killing is the gift of Musharaf regime and it enhanced after the death of Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti.

Moreover, missing persons are increasing day by day and similarly the underground organizations intensify their activities. Although present government has taken some steps to heal the wounds of Baloch but these are not implemented yet. Government must take concrete steps to for the solution of the problem because day by day situation is moving towards deterioration.

Target Killing is condemned by every conscientious Balochistani whether they are Pakhtuns or Baloch. Local people also die in target killing with settlers, and suffer also. I think just for that reason people of Balochistan should not be targeted in other areas of the country because every Balochistani is not a target killer neither they support this heinous act

Yes, you are quite right, but, when we will give equal status and proper rights to the Balooch. I think, they will not do any activity against Pakistan. Here , question arises, why the Balooch are in the hands of enemies of Pakistan? can you answer this question.

@ Above
No offence intended.
Balochi is an adjective meaning something related with Baloch like Balochi Culture,Balochi language etc..
Whereas Baloch is a noun meaning someone who speaks Balochi.
Please be mindful of the difference as Baloch resent being called Balochi.
Example: Hamid is a Baloch.
Hamid speaks Balochi.
Hope message is conveyed.
P.S the correct spelling are Baloch not Balouch,Baluch or Balooch.
