Khair Bakhsh Marri rejects COAS statement

QUETTA - Nawab Khair Bakhsh Marri, elderly separatist Baloch leader, has rejected the clarification of Army Chief General Pervez Kayani that neither the army nor its any subservient organisation was involved in the killings and dumping the dead bodies of missing persons, and termed the statement as misleading. Babu Sherov Marri, spokesman of Nawab Khair Baksh Marri, who is living in Karcahi for the past many years, said in a statement issued here on Tuesday that General Kayanis version was a propa ganda about Balochistan and the Baloch people. It was also aimed at deceiving and misleading the world regarding the prevailing situation of the province, he said. He said the Baloch wanted to clarify to the world that martyrdom had become their fate and independence an ultimate goal. He said waging war against the usurpers was not terrorism, adding the time of intimidation and bullying the Baloch had gone. He said the youth included in the journey of independence was the real and genuine heir of the ideology of Nawab Khair Baksh Marri. He said the Baloch youth should participate in practical struggle for independence, adding all the spies and paid agents had to be removed from their way of getting objectives. He said they should also become the strength of Dr Allah Nazar Baloch, the guerrilla commander, and extend him all possible cooperation and help for the larger interests of Baloch cause. He threatened the foreign companies to evacuate Balochistan as soon as possible; otherwise they should be ready to face consequences. The Baloch were not hurdle in NATO supplies to Afghanistan, but the intelligence agencies, he clarified.
