"A jail for the oppressed"
The United States and the international community have advised Pakistan
to have one-on-one dialogue with India but it has three faces and no
sincerity . Punjab, Pakistan and General Headquarters (Army ) are three- inone
with zero goodwill, says Abdul Majeed Kanjoo, president of Seraikis
National Party(SNP), in an exclusive interview to R. C Ganjoo .
Abdul Majeed Kanjoo
Kanjoo said, "The
distorted ideology
of Islam has
turned Pakistan
into a jail for the
o p p r e s s e d
nations. National rights and
identity of Seraikis are not even
mentioned in the so-called
constitution of 1973. After the
Bengalis, Seraikis are the
biggest population in the
country . They constitute over
40% of Pakistan."
The Seraikis are one of the
oldest established nations in the
world with their language and
culture. The "Rig Vedas" which
were written on the banks of
Indus, speak very high of
Seraikis.
He said that after the
separation of the majority
nation "Bengalis", the army
used constitution as another
means of control over Baloch,
Seraikis, Pashtoons and Sindhis.
Baloch and Seraikis were
specially.
He said army has been
directed to focus upon three
areas Punjab plus Seraikis,
Pukhtoon plus Balochistan and
Sindh plus Muhajir. Popular parties from Punjab, Pakhtoon
and Sindh plus religious groups along Muttahida Qaumi
Movement (MQM) in Pakistan
founded by Altaf Hussain in
1984 are available to act under
the umbrella of army,
In reply to Balochistan
ongoing struggle for separation
from Pakistan, he said "SNP has
no political ally except
Balochistan National Party headed by Sardar Akhtar Jan.
We wholeheartedly support the
demand of Balochistan".
On the controversy of MQM
political party in Pakistan, he
explained "The institution is in
a hurry to eliminate MQM at
any cost. In case of any
difficulty to understand anti
people character of Punjabi
Pakistan, Seraikis will be ready
to share their experiences
anywhere anytime with
anyone."
Bahawalpur's Seraikis,
Sindhis, Baloch and Pashtoons
were victorious in 1970
elections along with the
Bengalis. But Punjab and it's
army defeated all of them in
physical war of 1971, fought
against the constitutionalists of
Pakistan. Bengalis were
targeted most and made
example for remaining nations.
He said the bloodshed in 1947
occurred due to Great Game of
the super powers. But who are
the killers of millions of
Bengalis in 1971 ? 40%
population of Pakistan, Seraikis
and their Indus Valley
Civilization are in the danger of
elimination.
