Current military operation in Baluchistan also destined to fail.

LAHORE, Jan.22:
The Jamaat e Islami chief Syed Munawar Hasan has said that the 5th military operation going on Baluchistan would also fail like the previous four and the solution lay only in evolving national consensus and a national agenda.
He was addressing a national seminar on “ Baluchistan crisis, its cause, effects and solution” at Idara e Noor e Haq, Karachi on Wednesday, says a JIP press release here.
Prominent JUI leader Hafiz Husain Ahmed, acting chief of Baluchistan National Party Dr Jehannzeb Khan, and JI chiefs from Sindh and Baluchistan besides representatives of different political parties , prominent Baluch leaders , educationists, and columnists from national dailies also spoke on the occasion.
Syed Munawar Hasan said the Baluchistan issue was not the issue of a province only, it was an issue of the whole nation and the country and should be resolved as such. He said that there had been extra judicial killings, large scale abductions of the Baluchis and murders of young Baluch women and children.
He said as the Baluch leadership had rejected the Baluchistan package, the JI also rejected it. He called for ending the military operation as it was deepening hatred.
The JI chief said that in the 18th of February elections, the masses had voted for an end to the dictator’s rule with the hope that a new democratic culture would flourish in the country. But unfortunately, the thing had not changed at all.
He said that in the world history, problems had never been resolved through military operations. Nelson Mandela, Yasser Arafat and the Irish Republic Army were once condemned as terrorists but subsequently, the other side had to talk to them for a solution.
He noted that the MQM chief Altaf Husain had supported the operation in Swat but not in Karachi.
