The sheer volume of weapons available to militants in Dera Bugti proves external involvement, Balochistan Governor Owais Ahmed Ghani told private television channels on Tuesday.
| Y'know, you could say the same thing about Afghanistan... |
Ghani said that most of the weapons in Balochistan were brought from Afghanistan.
The Afghan government has failed to stem arms trafficking because of its internal turmoil and anarchy, he added.
| Another fine product of Waziristan... |
The provision of financial assistance proves that foreign elements are trying to destabilise Pakistan, he said. "The majority of Baloch people are content with the government's development plans," he said, adding that no tribal leader would be allowed to hamper the province's progress. "There is no law and order situation in Balochistan - except in two or three districts where some sardars are instigating the people against the government," said the governor.
| Maybe you should think about doing away with feudalism? |
These men have tortured and starved poor people to death, including women and children, he said. Baloch people are aware of the motive behind such acts and will not be deceived further by such sardars, he added. |
