People in Karachi Protested Against Pro- Indian Sympathizer Dana Rohrabacher
People in Karachi Pakistan protest a U.S. Congressional resolution
introduced by Republican congressman Dana Rohrabacher, which calls
for the self-determination of Pakistan’s Balochistan Province. While the
bill has little chance of pasing, it feeds the suspicion that the U.S. is
partly to blame for growing unrest in the province.

U.S. and Allies Foment ‘Terror’ in Balochistan with Eye on Iran
“One motive for American involvement is the port at Gwadar: The U.S. and its allies don’t want see Chinese access to it. Another factor is America’s desire to invade Iran: it would appear that part of its plan involves the use of Balochistan, Pakistan’s western-most province. Thus by stirring up trouble in Pakistan, the U.S. can achieve both of its larger goals: invading Iran and containing China.”

Pakistan – The Nation –
Republican Congressman from California Dana Rohrabacher: By introducing a bill calling for the self-determination of Pakistan’s Balochistan Province, he has stoked the fears of Pakistanis and others in the region that America wants to gain geopolitical advantage by partitioning certain countries and enlarging others.

A report in this newspaper quotes a military source as saying that India, Israel and both the CIA and Xe Services, are active inside Balochistan. But despite the fact that it was Interior Minister Rehman Malik who earlier accused India of terrorist involvement there and the military has evidence of Indian meddling, the government has taken no action, even keeping silent about it.
It has become clear that foreign powers hostile to Pakistan are exploiting unease in the province to foment trouble. It is also noteworthy that while India has been hostile to Pakistan since the time it was created, and Israel doesn’t even have diplomatic relations with Pakistan, the U.S. is supposed to be Pakistan’s ally and yet is fomenting terrorist activity in Balochistan, which makes a U.S. Congressional resolution calling for Baloch self-determination all the more suspicious. One motive for American involvement is the port at Gwadar: The U.S. and its allies don’t want see Chinese access to it. Another factor is America’s desire to invade Iran: it would appear that part of its plan involves the use of Balochistan, Pakistan’s western-most province. Thus by stirring up trouble in Pakistan, the U.S. can achieve both of its larger goals: invading Iran and containing China. And of course Israel also has a grudge against the Iranian regime, which regularly speaks out against it.

Those attempting to restore the [Pakistan] supply lines to NATO which were suspended after a U.S. helicopter gunship attack on a Pakistani border check post killed 26 soldiers, should take note of both overt and covert U.S. interference in Balochistan and stop seeking to curry favor with Washington. The Balochistan issue shouldn’t be dismissed by simply blaming local agencies. This simplistic explanation fails to account for the outside interference now taking place, and serves the interests of the responsible outside powers, providing a cover for them to carry out their nefarious activities.

The government must pay more attention to Balochistan and not rely on cosmetic measures. It should be prepared to bring all stakeholders together in an attempt to find a solution. The situation is grave. Pakistan’s regional enemy [India] is involved in this, and now other interests have intruded.
If the sense of deprivation in Balochistan was removed by giving people there a real share in the benefit from their own resources, foreign powers would have to look elsewhere to stir the pot. It mustn’t be forgotten that America, India and Israel are just stoking a fire that was already lit, and which was sparked by the rulers in Islamabad. It should also be remembered that putting out that fire is the government’s job.
