US interference on Balochistan issue condemnable: Legislators
2012-02-10
[Dawn] Senators from both sides of the divide on Thursday condemned the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for discussing the Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
issue, and termed it as a direct interference in Pakistain's affairs.
No, my dears. When the US Senate moves from talk to ordering the president to act, then you will experience interference.
Raising the issue on a point of order Senator Raza Rabbani said that the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has no jurisdiction to call a hearing on any issue happening in Pakistain.

Rabbani said that there should be a clear message to the US from Pakistain Senate and the Government that such interference was intolerable.

He said that some foreign elements have joined hands to exploit the situation in Balochistan which is against the soverignity of an independent country.

"We cannot surrender our illusory sovereignty in the name of globalisation," he added. Senator Kalsoom Parveen was on the same page.
