Yet another sad news emanating from Balochistan is the assasination of Balochistan National Party -Mengal Group’s leader Habib Jalib. Why? and by Who? are just two of the many questions that come to mind. The blame game has already started with fingers getting pointed in every which direction. In the meantime angry mobs set fire to Government property all across the province. Who will benefit from all the destruction being carried out to public property?
May the deceased rest in peace!
According to Dawn news, Educational institutions across whole province will remain closed for 2 days. BNP-M has announced 3 days of strike and 40 days of mourning. While Habib’s assassination is the saddest news, one should ask who will benefit from the 3-days of shutter-down-wheel-jam strike? Definitely not the common bread earner on the street.
The Daily News’ coverage of this sad event can be read here and the Daily Dawn’s here.
نہ نذر دیں ہوا کہ بیعانہ جزا ہوتا
کسی علم پہ رقم ہو کہ مشتہر ہوتا
نہ مدعی نہ شہادت حساب پاک پوا
یہ خون خاک نشیناں تھا رزق خاک ہوا
Terrorism is serious threat to our nation’s future. We need to work an elaborate strategy to counter terrorism and at the same time make a serious effort to de radicalize our society.

Logic and commonsense doesn’t seem to apply to these people. We must recall that many of these militants who are now bleeding Pakistan dry were once ‘freedom fighters’ trained, armed and supported by these so-called ‘super patriots’. These guys don’t deserve any points for intelligence or foresight, do they?
@khan,
if the agencies are responsible for his killing, they have shot themselves in the foot – haven’t they?

While you may have a point when it comes to what the religious militants are upto, it has little to do with what the Establishment’s agencies are up to and the murder of Habib Jalib, a decent moderate human being and a Baloch political leader.
