While speaking at a conference of Chiefs of Staffs of the Armed Forces being held under auspices of US CENTCOM BERLIN in Germany, Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif has accused the Indian intelligence Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) of spilling blood of innocent people through indirect strategy as he highlighted the challenges posed by the porous border that Pakistan shares with war-ravaged Afghanistan. India and its intelligence agency have been directly held responsible for all the prevailing ills in Pakistan while ignoring the fact that not a great deal of effort has been made on governmental level to mitigate the sense of deprivation among a large number of countrymen. Blaming others alone will not solve the issue. Pakistani authorities need to put their own house in order to deal with the scourge of militancy, anarchy and terrorism in Pakistan.
Pause and ponder on the issue with a different outlook. Why does resentment exist in volatile regions of Pakistan particularly in Balochistan? Why do external forces win local support? Why do certain sections in the Baloch nation talk about freedom and provincial autonomy? The answers of to these questions are not very difficult. There is a history of abuse of rights in Balochistan.
