Balochs want Balochistan sovereignty: Brahmdagh

LONDON  - Brahmdagh Bugti, grandson of Nawab Akbar Bugti has said that the sovereignty of Balochistan is dear to them instead of Pakistan and they would accept any sort of help from across the border for its defence. Giving a telephonic interview to BBC from unknown place, he said the operation in Balochistan had been going on from last four years not from four days and the purpose of operation is to capture the resources of Balochistan in the name of development, which is not acceptable for Baloch nation because this is an aggression. Answering to a question in relation with getting arms from neighbouring countries, he replied that they were fighting for self-defence and had the right to accept any foreign aid in this perspective. In relation with negotiation process, he said that it was a drama that was staged to provide an opportunity to army to stabilize it. He claimed the death of 40 to 50 security personnel. Brahmdagh accused that security forces were continuing their operation for last four days and bombarded at different areas of Dera Bugtti through helicopters, which killed 60 to 70 people including women and children. Further, he said that media is also not playing its role, if an incident happened in Quetta or in any other urban area all the media stand against it and start hue and cry but when hundreds of people died in Dera Bugti then why media and civil societies are silent. He said that Baloch nation want to live independent life, which is its right.
