Pakistan warns countries to discourage Baloch separatists
2012-03-10
[Dawn] Pakistain Foreign Office reminded those countries, who have given asylums to Baloch separatists, to discourage anti-Pakistain secessionist activities within their territories.
Why? What motivation do those other countries have to do as Pakistan desires?
Foreign Office Spokesman Abdul Basit while giving weekly briefing to the media representatives said that Pakistain has been handling the situation politically in accordance with its own laws, priorities and constitution.

Replying to a question, about providing shelter to some of the elements who are involved in the disturbance of Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
, the front man said Pakistain has raised this question with the concerned countries adding that demarche was issued to ambassador of Switzerland
...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
in Islamabad.

Talking on the issue of activities of estranged Baloch leaders taking refuge in England and Switzerland, Basit said Islamabad has made demarches to the relevant countries and have been assured by them that their territories will not be allowed to be used against Pakistain.

"We are cognizant of the developments in Balochistan and necessary steps have also been taken," he added.

The front man said Pakistain is trying to handle the situation in the province politically adding "it is our internal issue and will be dealt with in accordance with the constitution and our own preferences".
