ISLAMABAD, Oct 25 (INP): Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader and former Senator Farhatullah Babar has said that the government cannot impose a military solution on the people of Balochistan. He was addressing a ceremony organized in connection with launching of Kaiser Bengali's book "A Cry for Justice" at Islamabad Club on Thursday evening. Published by the Oxford University Press the book highlights deprivations of the people of Balochistan. Farhatullah Babar said that according to official figures placed before Senate Human Rights Committee sometime back mutilated bodies of fifty one persons were found during a 2-year period but not a single FIR was registered by any relative of the victims. He said that it only shows that the citizen has lost trust in the state institutions to get justice and points to a dangerous alienation and disconnect between the state and society in the province, he said. This disconnect has manifested itself in an insurgency that can only be addressed politically and not militarily, he added. The distrust dates back to when military dictator Ayub Khan hanged Baloch Sardar Nouroz Khan three sons after luring him to come down of mountains for talks. It was reinforced when another Baloch Sardar Akbar Bugti was assassinated by another military dictator in his last days in the last decade. The PPP leader lauded the author for highlighting representational imbalance of Balochistan. With only 17 members in a House of 342 the voice of Balochistan is drowned. Equal representation in the Senate has little impact as the Upper House has no powers in resource allocation, he stated. He called for increasing the National and Provincial seats for Balochistan saying any such move would not be extraordinary. Tribal areas have 12 MNAs regardless of its population and the then west Pakistan had same number of parliamentary seats despite a population less than the former East Pakistan. He said that the recent murmurs of roll back of 18th Amendment and the NFC Award will only further accentuate the sense of deprivation of the people of Balochistan. Farhatullah Babar also lauded the author Kaiser Bengali and the Oxford University Press for taking causes of the underprivileged and dispossessed. The book launch event was also addressed by the author Kaiser Bengali and Professor Aalia Khan. INP/SB/AK
