US, India hatching conspiracy in Balochistan: Aslam Baig Wednesday January 04, 2006 (2343 PST)
ISLAMABAD: Former Chief of the Army staff General (Retd) Mirza Aslam Baig has said United States in connivance with India has hatched a conspiracy for the creation of an independent state out of Balochistan and that a major center espionage in the Panj Sher valley of Afghanistan is actively engaged on this conspiracy. In an interview with a private TV channel, he said the American policy makers are very much active in Balochistan since year 2001 while India too has gained considerable influence in the province since then.
He said Americans wanted some abode in this part of the world as it is forced to withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan and that they would have to end their occupation of the two countries.
Americans as a long-term strategy are getting the Islamic world encircled to keep china contained to the maximum extent that is why, he added United States has signed defence pacts with countries like India, Japan and Taiwan.
The Indian reaction to the developments in Balochistan also smacks off its deep involvement into the province and the way separatists like Balochistan liberation army is being armed and assisted also substantiates the point that a foreign conspiracy exists against Pakistan, he said.
He said the richness of Balochistan in mineral resources is one of the attractions for the international powers but the strategic location of Balochistan is more important to the US and its allies.
Mirza Aslam said the failure of the governments to offers some political remedy of the prevailing sense of deprivation among the people of Balochistan has encouraged outside forces of intervene.
If we start sharing power and join all federation units in decision-making and fair and free elections are held we can counter this conspiracy, he added.
Sure haven't heard anything about this before. Wonder if it's true?
