The wise say,``A system based on `Kufr`can be sustained but not the one based on `Zulm`. Zulm means war against humanity, cvilization and even reason and common sense. I quote an instance to make my point clear. Yesterday I went to a bank to submit my application for purchasing shares of KAPKO. The bank rejected my application because I had ID card only of the Govt. Registraion Authority and not that of NADRA. Is it not a shere zulm? In the first place why should the question of identity arize when the applicant has an old account with the bank. Secondly you are preventing a Pakistani citizen from investing unreasonabely when the government`s policy is to invite even foreigners to invest in Pakistan.

The state which is not based on reason and justice is indeed a failed state.

We can blame the Baluchi way for whatever reason we may want but have you ever tried to figure out why they are in such a state in the first place. Its because us Punjabi`s have been eating up any and all profits and benefits produced by this country and the governments of the past and of today only care for the punjab and sindh, wheras the baluchi`s are left way behind in all aspects of govt care. why should they care for a govt or a country which doesnt respect them and hardly even rolerates them

Re: # 1

sounds awfully alot like what happened in a certain indian state where women were paraded nakes onto streets, raped and then ripped open. ahhh, the pot calling the kettle black. how proverbial.

re: Nauman Nisar

Apparently the ``Balochi way`` means you can accuse a person of committing a crime, then kill his entire family and a dozen innocent bystanders at random and then level racist, unIslamic accusations against the `accused` person`s race... and doing all this before any shred of evidence can be produced.

As long Balochi people are stuck with leaders like Bugti, rest of Pakistan shall never learn about the honorable, hospitable, secular Balochi ways. Instead the crude, stone age methods of Nawab Bugti will be mistaken for ``Balochi ways``.

This is the 3rd or 4th article on the episode. People have lost interest or will soon and forget too.

Vigilante justice, riots, and arson that followed was due to lack of justice. So the Paki state is responsible for the aftermath too.
