UNITED BALOCHISTAN EMIRATES WAS THE BRAINCHILD OF R.A.W

The president of Pakistan AsifAli Zardari has said that a plan called “UNITED EMIRATES BALOCHISTAN”  has been stopped and sources say that this was largely due to the effort of military and intelligence agencies. But still the whole operation has not been snuffed out. What was this United Emirates Balochistan plan?? Who was involved in it and how  was it stopped? Sources claim that the whole operation was the brainchild of Indian intelligence agency R.A.W. At one point Iran and Afghanistan were also a part of it later joined by Israel, U.S and the German intelligence. Iran separated itself from this plan first and it tried to discourage Baloch separatists working in Irani Baloch territory and last nail in the coffin proved to be Karzai government’s order to the separatists to get out of Afghanistan. But even now India and Israel are working in this regard vigorously and hence the still continuing wave of terrorism in Balochistan.

India started infiltrating in Balochistan region in 2005. R.A.W planned to make Greater Balochistan by uniting Pakistani, Irani Balochistan with some Afghan territory, so Pakistan could not make use of the mineral wealth of Balochistan. For this purpose India invested in the seaport of Chabahar, Iran, while the Indian consulate of Zahidan, Iran played its part in training and providing facilities to the Baloch separatists. Iran had reservations of Pakistan using the Gwadar port and the Pakistani plans of making use of its oil reserves, but later after the inclusion of U.S and Israel in the whole operation and after the details of this op surfaced, it stepped back. Iran now understood that B.L.A in Pakistan and J’and’Allah in Iran were used to divide these two countries’ territory. Iran after separating from the op took great measures in cracking down the J’and’Allah terrorists and many were arrested. Even though Iran separated itself from the operation, it didn’t stop the Indian consulate in Zahidan from working in this regard.

On the other hand Mossad stared helping Baloch separatists and lured them that a free Balochistan will be a unification of different states including Qallat and Lasbela, just like 1947. That is how Khan of Qallat was called outside the country and he started living in self-imposed exile.

Government of Pakistan got its first proof of Indian involvement in this plan in July 2008, when several arrests were made in Hangu operation. During interrogation, these people told about the Indian agency’s involvement in terrorism based on sectarian violence as well as involvement in Balochistan. Several B.L.A arrested members also accepted in front of the courts that India trained them in Rajasthan and Afghanistan. Some were also taken to South Africa and Tel Aviv. Paksitani authorities presented all these facts to the Indian prime minister in Sharm El’Sheikh.

A seminar was held a while ago by the Indian Institute of Defence Studies and Analysis. Dr. Wahid Baloch, president Baloch society North America, Naseer Mengal, Dr. Jumma Khan and Khan of Qallat attended it. Later, another seminar was held on Balochistan Issue in which former secretary R.A.W Vikram Sood, Gen. (R) V.P. Malik and some top reporters were present alongwith the above mentioned Baloch personnel. There was a poisonous outburst in this seminar against I.S.I and Pakistan.  The said Baloch leaders requested economic aid as well as help on moral grounds and at the media level, and a former R.A.W officer B. Raman was appointed as the head of media strategies on Balochistan.

Post seminar, these Baloch separatists met with India’s vice foreign secretary who assured them of complete support. According to Naseer Mengal, they were assured that twelve to thirteen European countries will readily accept Free Balochistan. Each Baloch separatist was given 25 thousand U.S dollars at the end of the seminar.

On 21 November, 2009, American Friends of Balochistan arranged a Balochistan International Conference in National Press Club, Washington. The sad thing is, Pakistan’s consulate was also a part of this conference. The attendees included Director of American Center for International Policy S. Harrison, Andrew, Wendy Johnson, Hir byar Mari, Mehran Baloch, Ahmed Masti Khan, Naseer Mengal, and Professor Neil Baluch among others, and took part in Pakistan bashing. It is said that the conference was a collaborated effort of R.A.W and Israel and had the quiet support of the U.S.A. It was the same year of 2009 when Triple Eye Agency started training the Baloch separatists. Another conference was held with the help of R.A.W in February 2010, in Bangkok, Thailand where the division of Pakistan was planned. This conference was sponsored by a Jewish Think tank of the U.S.

Considering all these events, Pakistani authorities raised the issue with Afghan president Hamid Karzai and he promised that Afghan soil will not be allowed to use against Pakistan. On a similar track, Pak army started educational and vocational plans in Balochistan to defuse the influence of the separatists from the natives, and the policy is reaping its rewards now.

Across the border info shows that the Indian terrorist network although not entirely erased, but its effect is somewhat waning, as Hir byar Mari and Brahamdagh Bugti had to find refuge in London and Switzerland respectively. Sources say, federal government showed great lack of interest in this regard and as a result the support for terrorists could not be completely wiped out. If the Aghaz-e-Huqooq Balochistan project had become fully functional in its entirety, then there could have been a clear decline in the separatists’ support locally, but the federal government did not concentrate on the said project whole heartedly.
