The Punjab Forum has said that construction of cantonments should not be abandoned in restive Balochistan province as it will encourage elements destabilising Pakistan.
Putting Balochistan cantonment plan on hold will help America, Afghanistan and India to play their dirty game on Pakistani soil, it said.
In a statement, the Punjab Forum said that limiting role of spy agencies will not only encourage insurgents but it will trigger new wave of indiscriminate massacre of the settlers.
Pakistan cannot afford to help target killers start ethnic cleansing of Punjabi and other non-Baloch settlers which are only 10 per cent of the provincial population, it added.
Such moves will help Afghanistan send scores of terrorists aimed at ethnic cleansing of Punjabis with an ultimate aim to disintegrate country.
A handful of miscreants have killed thousands of settlers including doctors, professors, teachers and labourers while hundreds of thousands have been displaced in their own country, it added.
Over the years settlers have given their best to Balochistan for which they are now being paid with bullets and bombs.
It said that it is amazing that whole government’s machinery is being used to please few anti-state miscreants and their masters in open contravention of the constitution while the number of dead bodies being sent to Punjab is on the increase.
So far, not a single politician or government official has expressed any sympathy with the heirs of those innocent who were killed in the cold blood.
The Punjab Forum demanded of the Chief of Army Staff General Kayani to review decision on cantonments to foil the unholy designs of enemies of the state, ensure welfare of poor Baloch people and put an end to black-mailing of chieftains.
