Imran Khan, a Traitor, defends terror suspects

[Omar1984]

FORMER cricket superstar Imran Khan yesterday gave his support to two terror suspects accused of encouraging guerrilla warfare in Pakistan.

Giving evidence at a London terror trial, the sportsman-turned-politician said had he been in the same position as the two men in the dock he would have been prepared to take up arms.

He told the court he would have been willing to use violence against the Pakistan government if he had been from the country’s poorest province of Baluchistan, where he said the army had killed and kidnapped citizens, made 75,000 homeless, rigged elections and controlled the courts.

Imran, chairman of the Movement For Justice political party in Pakistan, was giving evidence during the trial of two Baluchi men.

The pair are accused of encouraging acts of violence against former dictator General Musharraf’s government from their London base.

Imran said the military leader had abused his power, collected “bounty” from America for handing over terror suspects and had rejected a political solution to unrest in Baluchistan because “a military man only understands military means”.

Henry Blaxland QC, representing Hyrbyair Marri, one of the defendants, asked Imran: “Given your own knowledge of the situation in Baluchistan, you have gone on record to say that if you were a Baluchi you may have resorted to picking up a gun to defend yourself, is that right?”

Imran said: “To defend the rights of my people... I think if I had no access to getting into parliament because most of the elections are heavily rigged there.”

He added: “If I had no way of expressing my grievances or this injustice where... most of my people are below the poverty line, how else would I express myself?”

Imran, speaking via video link from Islamabad, said that when the Baluchi people protested, Musharraf sent in the army.

“Hundreds disappeared, there was extra judicial killing. It was treated more like a colony rather than a part of Pakistan,” Imran added.

Marri, 40, of Ealing, and Faiz Baluch, 27, of Wembley deny assisting terrorism and inciting murder abroad. The trial continues.

BLA killed many innocent children, women, and men and here Imran Khan is defending these terrorists. Before I thought Imran Khan was a more patriotic Pakistani than Altaf Hussein, but now I think Altaf Hussein is a thousand times more patriotic Pakistani than the traitor Imran Khan.

Another article of Imran Khan supporting BLA:
The former Pakistani cricket captain Imran Khan has told a court he supported the right for people to take up arms against their government if there was no longer any other democratic alternative for them to pursue.


Mr Khan, now a politician, made the remarks at the trial at Woolwich Crown Court of Faiz Baluch and Hyrbair Marri, who deny inciting terrorist murder in Pakistan. Mr Baluch, 27, from Wembley, north London, and Mr Marri, 40, from Ealing, west London, are accused of gathering information for the Baluchistan Liberation Army, a proscribed group in the UK, and of inciting murder via websites they ran.
Human rights groups have accused the Pakistani military of human rights violations in Baluchistan, a western province of Pakistan.

Asked by Mr Baluch's defence counsel, Baroness Helena Kennedy QC, whether the people of Baluchistan had "other avenues" besides military to "assert the will of the people", Mr Khan replied: "Absolutely not. In Baluchistan there was military action going on, [so] there was no way of redressing the people's grievances."

The trial continues.

Well One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter isnt it bro? This is the exact same thing is Kashmir with some difference here and there. But killers, who kill innocents, be it army or freedom figthers or terrorists should be condemned strongly!

This isn't anything like Kashmir. Balochistan is NOT a disputed territory unlike Kashmir and secondly BLA is internationally recognized a terrorist organization and Imran Khan, the man who wants to be president of Pakistan, is not only supporting a terrorist organization but also wants to break the country.

It would be really different if Azad Kashmir was holding a freedom struggle against Pakistan because Kashmir is a disputed territory recognized by the entire world, Balochistan is not, its like your guy's Assam.

the LeT etc were also Internationally banned terrorist organisations, so werent they grown and fed in Pakistan sometime back?

Kashmir maybe disputed for you, but for Us Indians Its an integral part of India. The Existence of the BLA itself shows that the people of Baloch are rising up against GOP!

LeT is banned in Pakistan for a long time too so I dont know what you're talking about and two Balochis, only one being a Pakistani Balochi the other Iranian Balochi, caught in England planning attacks against Pakistan is not rising up.
By the way, many evidence shows India's involvement in BLA, Ive visited a BLA blog where someone pretending to be Baloch recommended all Balochis to convert to Hinduism...you Indians are really pathetic at this game.

 

[roadrunner]

The important point is this.

Balochistan is an integral part of Pakistan, not disputed, it is legally Pakistani. Any uprising is treason, therefore.

The will of the people is seen every elections when they do not vote for the pro independence baloch parties.

if we are so pathetic at this game, why do you guys blame us for inciting violence in balochistan?

 

[Omar1984]

if we are so pathetic at this game, why do you guys blame us for inciting violence in balochistan?

Its not about blaming, its true that India is behind BLA and Pakistan is three steps ahead of you guys.

 

[ahmeddsid]

If we, India and Pakistan dont reform then we will be fighting each other for eternity!

Regarding your first point, are you trying to say that Let was banned first and then supported by Pakistan????? Get your facts right..... Let was formed in Pakistan and after it was proscribed by UN, it was also outlawed by Pakistan.

Regarding your second point, you may live in your carefully crafted delusional world as long as you desire but the fact remains that Kashmir is disputed and UNSC has passed resolutions on it which makes it an international dispute. On the other hand, if presence of BLA shows that Balochi people are rising against GOP then presence of Naxalites, Maoists, Tamil separatists, tribal separists, kashmiri organization and overall 195 terror groups active in bharat indicates that people in North east India, central india and south india have already risen up against the Ram raj being imposed in bharat i-e GOI. Hope it awakes you to the reality???????

Excellent coverage.

 

[kidwaibhai]

i think this is just an attempt from Mr imran khan to be anti establishment. the has no following anymore in pakistan. i used to really like him but he just become a marginalized figure who as he ages becomes crazier and crazier.
As far as BLA is concerned they have also killed many balochi people.

 

[CdMan2]

This is totally misinterpreted. All Imran Khan wants to establish is that any one who is suppressed will take some sort of action against the suppressor and it is a fact that we treat Balochis harshly. Its a fact n we should accept it, if it wasnt true then Zardari appologized Balochis for the past mistakes. Imran Khan never supported BLA. I didnt find any instance in the quotes given here.

,, The Naxalites and Maoists are the same. Previously they were known as Naxals, now they changed the name to Maoism. Their main objective is not separatisms from India, their objective is to bring a socialist revolution in India, just like they have dont in Nepal.They are not seeking separate territory from India. Next thing Tamil separatism does not exist in India, it exists in Sri Lanka.. ... All the Kashmiri terrorist groups like LeT or the JeM, operate from Pakistan, and nearly all the separate leaders have had militant backgrounds.

Now, about Balochinstan, it was never a part of India that was given to Pakistan, infact Balochinstan territory was invaded after Pakistani independence in 1948. If u call Kashmir disputed, then, there is no reason why we should'nt call Balochistan disputed too.

I suggest reading the post that you are about to reply very carefully. Where did i say that Naxals or Maoists are striving for separatism??????? Infact, they want to get rid of the Ram Raj through a change in the social order which by all accounts is more dangerous to bharat then anyother separatist movement. Separatist movements on the other hand want to avoid the Ram Raj by seeking to get independence from the tyranny. The thing that they have in common is that they have taken up arms to achieve the objective so before you refer to Balochistan and its RAW sponsored phantom organization, it is prudent for you as ordinary hindustani to worry about what is real and present.

About the issue of "all Kashmiri separatist organizations operating from Pakistan", you are either blissfully ignorant of the reality or you are merely pretending as a daft. Here is one article (from your own bharat media as per the popular hindustani demand) which will help you in understanding what hindustan faces today.



Nearly 175 terror groups are active in India


Sunday, 13 April 2008


Mumbai, April 13: Manipur has the highest number of terror outfits, followed by Assam and Jammu and Kashmir, according to a list prepared by the union home ministry in consultation with state governments and intelligence agencies.

The home ministry is closely monitoring the activities of nearly 175 terror organisations spread across India and attempting to ascertain their links both within and outside the country. The list includes those suspected of, or indulging in terrorist, insurgent, extremist or fanatical activities. The majority of the outfits are centred in and active in the northeast, according to intelligence sources.

Manipur tops the list with a whopping 39 organisations, followed by Assam with 36 organisations that are under the scanner of the state and central intelligence agencies.

The next is the sensitive border state of Jammu and Kashmir with 32 such groups active, semi-active or dormant. In addition to these, there are at least four other independent groups that are not based in Kashmir but are coordinating or supporting terror groups in the state from across the border.

The surprise inclusion here is Dukhtaran-e-Millat, an all-women organisation that exerts community pressures to further social norms dictated by Islamic fundamental groups.

Most of the groups named in the list are engaged in secessionist activities, mostly armed and violent, either independently or with support from across the border, mostly in regions neighbouring Pakistan and China.

A matter of concern for law-enforcing authorities is that the list - which has been obtained by IANS - is not exhaustive and keeps growing, the sources said.

Thirty groups belong to Tripura, followed by four in Meghalaya, three in Nagaland, two in Mizoram and one in Arunachal Pradesh.

This makes a total of 115 groups in seven states in the sensitive northeast, including those bordering China.

Punjab, which witnessed heavy terrorism in the 1980s, has at least 12 active or potentially dangerous terror groups in the state.

Mumbai Anti-Terrorist Squad chief Hemant Karkare said there are around 8-10 frontline terror groups on which they keep tabs on a regular basis, but he declined to identify them.

'In addition, there are more than a couple of hundred other such groups of which we have knowledge. At times, new ones suddenly crop up, like the Hindu Garjana, which attacked communist party workers in Pune last fortnight. Then we do the needful investigations,' Karkare told IANS, but did not elaborate.

In addition to these state-level groups, the agencies are keeping tabs on the activities of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Tamil Nadu Liberation Army, Tamil National Retrieval Troops, Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI - banned since September 2001), Deendar Anjuman, Asif Reza Commando Force, Kamatapur Liberation Organisation and the Ranvir Sena.

Even some Nepalis in India have their own struggle group - the Akhil Bharat Nepali Ekta Samaj - fighting for different causes.

Left-wing extremist groups that are under a close watch include the Communist Party of India-Maoist, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-Janashakti and People's Guerrilla Army.

As far as Mumbai Police are concerned, they are quite pleased with the recent successful investigations that led to the nabbing of important terror operatives who were reportedly targeting sensitive installations and religious places in Mumbai.

These include terror suspects caught from Goa, Karnataka and from Thane district, bordering Mumbai, in Maharashtra.

Last Thursday, police nabbed two prominent SIMI activists from Mira Road (Thane), Irshad Salim Khan (37) and Israr Ahmed Abdul Hamid Tailor (38), who may be linked to the July 11, 2006, serial bomb explosions in Mumbai's suburban trains.

Read this article carefully..... it answers all your innocent points. One, all Kashmiri groups are not operating from Pakistan (as per the GOI report 4 from across the border and whopping 32 from inside).

Second, it answers your question regarding there being no tamil separatism (see the report, not only LTTE has its bases in hindustan but also two internal tamil organisations alos exist).

Yes, we can treat Balochistan as disputed issue provided bharat can get few resolutions of UNSC passed in its favor...... untill then bask yourself in the recently acquired knowledge about terror organisation in hindustan courtesy Prodigy17.
