| District Governor Election. In the district of Kashmore the two martial tribes the Bijaranis and the Mazaris stand against each other to secure the coveted office of the District Governor. Mazaris belong to the Rojhan area of Punjab province where as the bijaranis migrated to khangarh from Aleppo , Syria. Bijaranis enjoy the chieftainship of 37 balouch and non-balouch tribes whereas the Mazaris command only one tribe. However they are being supported by the Musharraf regime. Sardar Balakh Sher Mazari, Sardar Sher Baz Mazari and Sardar Saleem Jan Mazari are the famous MP's and Sardar Mehran Khan Bijarani, Sardar Sher Mohammad Khan Bijarani, Sardar Hazar Khan Bijarani and Sardar Imran Khan Bijarani are the Veteran Politicians of Kashmore District of Sindh Province. It is feared that due to Mazari/Bijarani stand-off the elections could end up in bloodshed. It is now upto the Chief Election commissioner of Pakistan to take precautionary measures to prevent such a situation. The independant observers are of the view that regardless of the governments support for Mazaris the Bijaranis will secure the Governorship of the district. |
