Washington DC: The American Friends of Baluchistan has lodged a formal complaint with U.S. authorities against suspected agents of the infamous Inter Services Intelligence who are working as diplomats at the Pakistan embassy, for posing as journalists and interviewing Baluch and Sindhi dissidents.
"Today on Friday as A.F.B. activists were protesting at the Pakistan embassy to protest the killing of Baluch people at the hands of state security forces of Pakistan and also by goons of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement the I.S.I. repeated its dirty tricks campaign,” the A.F.B. press statement said.
“At that time a lond sarrag, or oval head, the name used for Punjabis committing atrocities on Baluch people, approached me and said he wanted to interview me for GeoTV. I aked for his Press I.D., but he assured me he was a colleague of Sami Abraham, the GeoTV reporter in D.C."
The A.F.B. said at the time its acivists were raising slogans like "I.S.I. terrorist" and "Paki army terrorist" when the suspected I.S.I. agent approached them for an interview.
The A.F.B. has requested the U.S. authorities to intervene and investigate the matter to stop Pakistani agents from violating the First Amendment rights of the Baluch now living in the U.S.A.
"This was not the first time Pakistani agents have used such tactics,” the A.F.B. statement said.
"In November at the time of an international conference at the National Press Club that was attended by a State Department official, the same I.S.I. spooks stole signature cards that were meant for U.S. senators and congressmen requesting their help to stop Pak atoricities against the Baluch," the A.F.B. said.
The A.F.B. said on Friday it was demonstrating against the Inter Services Intelligence and Muttahida Qaumi Movement, an urban terrorist and fascist outfit, that needs to be rooted out from Karachi for the good of Sindh.
The protest in Washington D.C. was planned against the killing of Baluch activists in Karachi and Baluchistan.
M.Q.M. was born in the cradle of the military crackdown on the democracy-loving people of Sindh; at the time the military had launched an operation against so-called “dacoits" in which thousands of innocent people were killed or jailed.
Terror as an instrument of politics has been utilized by both the Governor of Sindh, Dr. Ishrat ul Ebad, and Karachi mayor, Mustafa Kamal, who was suspected of having a role in the killing of M.Q.M. founder Azeem Ahmed Tariq on the instructions of London-based terror chief Altaf Hussain.
A Canadian court has ruled the M.Q.M. a terror body and its about time the U.K. extradite its leader, Altaf Hussain to where he belongs.
The mafia-like hegemonic control of M.Q.M. and its thugs over Karachi, its commerce, trade, and law enforcing institutions is a cancer for Sindh.
The United Nations Human Rights Commission, Amnesty International , International Committee of the Red Cross and other international human rights organizations should take immediate notice of the naked aggression of Pakistani state and its allied terrorist outfit against the Baloch populace.
Karachi used to be the Paris of the East before the arrival of these cut-throat Muslims from India. There were peaceful Sindhi traders, everything was pure and honest and out of a population of 400,000 in 1947 there were 280,000 Baluch. The rest were highly educated and cultured Sindhi Hindus or respectable Sindhis from the interior.
Karachi suffered the worst in the partition holocaust as in a span of 20 years the population jumped five times because of the arrival of people, many of them with a criminal past.
One of the biggest real estate scams in human history was perpetrated in Sindh when these immigrants either transferred properties worth billions of dollars left behind by the affluent Sindhi Hindus in their own names as they were the new bureaucrats or grabbed state lands in the name of Islam and Pakistan.
Now these leaders of the M.Q.M. led by terror mastermind Altaf Hussain and Karachi mayor Mustafa Kamal are eyeing every open space that is badly needed by everyone. It is a shame Altaf Hussain is ruling over Karachi sitting in London, displaying his British passport.
Through the offices of the Pakistani ambassador, we also like to request immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all Pakistani troops, Frontier Corp militia, and non-Baluch officer from the security and state services of Baluchistan as a first step towards the Baluch becoming masters of their homeland.
The A.F.B. has also urged Mr. Richard C. Holbrooke, U.S. special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, to take a serious note of the activities of Pakistani agents on U.S. soil. "The activities of these agents undermine not only Baluch interests, but the interests of the world as they are hell bent on defeating the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, " the A.F.B. said
