KALAT, Balochistan – The Regional Study Center organized a function in Kabul, Afghanistan on Thursday. The
secretary general of the Awami National Party (ANP) of Pakistan, Afrasiab Khattak gave a speech in which he
expressed his displeasure with the policies of the Pakistani military regime. He described the Islamic Republic of
Pakistan as a safe haven for terrorists. He added, "Harboring terrorists was the policy of the military regime in
Pakistan."
The function was organized to review the trouble in Pakistan's tribal areas and Balochistan and its impact on peace in Afghanistan. Director
of the Regional Study Centre Abdul Ghafoor Liwal, advisor to Afghan President Karzai on cultural affairs Zalmay Hiwadmal, Minister for
Borders and Tribal Affairs Abdul Karim Barahvi, Director of the Academy of Sciences and its members, and representative of the
Government of Balochistan (GOB) in Exile also attended the function.
Khattak said the problems "might" be solved after the holding of free and fair elections and formation of a true representative government of
the people in Pakistan.
"There is no democracy in Pakistan. Both the internal and foreign policy is prepared by the military," said Khattak.
He said the government of Pakistan, after the overthrow of Taliban, had given a free hand to the militants in the tribal areas. The terrorists in
those areas had trained foreigners, who were now posing threat to Pakistan's own interests.
Regarding the recent trouble in Pakistani-occupied Balochistan, Khattak said such crisis had caused disintegration of the country in the
past (referring to Bangladesh) and the same was likely to be repeated if the problem was not resolved in an amicable manner.
Criticizing Pakistan's Afghan policy, Khattak said, "Pakistan wants a puppet government in Afghanistan. But the policy is wrong."
The secretary general of the GOB (Exile), Mir Azaad Khan agreed with Khattak and added, "Pakistan is bent upon destabilizing President
Karzai's government, and they will continue to provide military support to the Al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorist in Afghanistan. As long as there
is a firm government in Kabul that wants to develop Afghanistan, both economically and militarily, Pakistani military regime will consider it a
threat and will do everything in its power to weaken the Afghans."
He emphasized that both the Afghan and Baloch governments must cooperate and approach the United Nation’s International Court of
Justice to challenge the validity of the Durand Line Agreement and declare it null and void. With the presence of the U.S.-led coalition forces
and NATO forces in Afghanistan, it will be easy to implement the court’s rulings. Once the illegally occupied territories belonging to
Afghanistan and Balochistan are returned by Pakistan, the terror in the region inflicted by the Pakistani supported Taliban and Al-Qaeda
terrorists will certainly subside.
