I will be honest here it's been a while since I traveled into remote areas of Sindh or Balochistan. my last visit was back in 2019. I have become a paper-pusher lately... as Khan sb said, 'mujhe office mein betha dia, ab mera wazaan barh giya hai'
I traveled extensively to project sites in Khuzdar, Lasbela, and interior sindh b.w the period of 2012 - 2018.
Traveling out of Hyderabad or at times Karachi, we would take N55, at Sehwan turn west, driving around 'Manchar jheel' and through the unmarked roads enter Khuzdar.
As you exit Sehwan and on other side, Hyderabad...all you would find are the flags of Sindhi Nationalists, now banned militant organization JSQM and SRA, painted on the walls. Every now and then they would hold protests or rallies but nothing in significant or a large crowd.
In Dadu or Moro region i did not witness this all lot, not sure why but then as you go towards Naushahro feroze, Bhria Road, Padidan, Bandhi you will start seeing the flags hoisted and painted on the walls.
Back in 2012-2015, (post killing of JSQM Chairman Bashir Qureshi) support had died down significantly . There was barely any shutdown of the national highways (N5 or N55)
but I remember that towards 2018 things started to pick up the pace again....there were gatherings, protests, flags etc.
I guess we dropped our guard down and allowed them to gather up again. Credit for this goes to Zardari sb who played on the other side of fence and allowed shafi barfat to hold protests in Sindh recently.... by 2020 things were back on track for these militant groups. By end of 2020 BLA announced support for SRA and they carried out their first grenade attack in Ghotki on Rangers vehicles in march 2021, followed by another attack in Karachi.
This is not exhaustive list but some of the areas where i witnessed significant support for Nationalists:
For the last few years at least, if you drive through interior Sindh, not even too deep, just on the main bloody highway N5 you will regularly find Sindudesh flags flying around on houses or on streets. These flags are both new and years old.
I have even seen a few sizeable gatherings of Sindudesh supporters.
Look what a shithole the finanical capital of Pakistan is under PPP. Now just imagine what some random villages' conditions will be like? The murders, torture, and slavery in this feudal system are an open secret.
The attacks by SRA while conveniently supported by India, are a possible because of grassroots support caused by PPP's amazing governance of Sindh, with blessings of they-who-must-not-be-named.
It's like you and your kids lives are a joke to them.
@Foxtrot Alpha has done great work on them, he can give us a better insight.
It will be irrelevant if what he states is true....
