Bugti grandson indicted in Karachi blast case
2005-12-11
LAHORE: Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti’s grandson, Sardar Barhamad Khan, has been indicted in the recent Karachi blasts case.

According the BBC, the challans presented by the police in the anti-terrorist court state that the apprehended culprits, Aziz and Mengala Khan told the police that Sardar Brahmad Khan called them and said that since PPL did not employ Baloch workers, they ought to be taught a lesson. Sardar Brahmad allegedly provided them with explosives and a car. In light of this information, the police have declared Sardar Barhamad and his accomplice Abdul Majeed fugitives.

Meanwhile, Nawab Akbar Bugti, talking to BBC, said the government ruled the roost and therefore could declare anybody guilty of anything, or even adduce any kind of statement against or in favour of anybody they want. “If the Sindh inspector general of police and his deputy is given to my men for interrogation, these government servants would say that President Pervez Musharraf is involved in the crime,” he said. He added that his grandson was at his native village of Dera Bugti. “If he was involved in such an activity, I would have knowledge of it,” Bugti said.
"He's pure as the driven snow!"
Bugti, who is chief of the Jamhoori Watan Party which claims more rights to minerals the government extracts from Balochistan, went on to say that “protests and appeals don’t make any difference in this country, therefore there is no use of a protest”.

About the arrests of some men who the police say belong to the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), Bugti said: “The superintendent of police says that they belong to the BLA. It is welcome news because now Punjabis have also joined Balochi people. They are also feeling that Balochistan is being deprived of its rights.”
