The government has decided to resettle 4,000 Masuri and Raija Bugtis in Dera Bugti who are currently living in Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajanpur districts. Official sources said more than 100 vehicles were being arranged to take them to their homes under the supervision of the Frontier Constabulary. Nawab Muhammad Akbar Khan Bugti had expelled them from Dera Bugti in 1996. Talking to reporters on Friday, Mir Hamdan Khan Bugti, chief of his clan, said his people were leading a miserable life because allowances given by the government were too low to meet even food requirement. Sources said all the Masuris, Raija and Kalpar Bugtis would be taken to Dera Ghazi Khan Police Lines from where they would be transported to their homeland.Mir Ahmadan Khan, also a former district council chairman, accused Nawab Akbar Bugti of playing in the hands of foreign powers who wanted to keep Pakistan undeveloped and backward. “These powers are plotting to stop foreign investment in Balochistan,” he said.
He said Akbar Bugti, his sons and grandsons were involved in more than 152 registered cases of murders, while he had established his own prisons and kept hundreds of innocent people in his torture cells. He accused Nawab Bugti of killing 35 member of Kalpar clan including Amir Hamza, 16 people of Rahija tribe including Sher Muhammad and seven people of Masoori tribe. He said Ata Muhammad and his son, Abdul Wahid, had been in his custody for the last nine years despite paying a ransom of Rs 2.1 million.
He said Jamaat-e-Islami Amir in Dera Bugti Amanullah Khan and his two party activists were slaughtered at Dera Bugti. An FIR was registered by Sui police because there was no permission in Dera Bugti to register a case against Nawab Akbar Bugti. Later, his father, Haibat Khan, was kidnapped and tortured. Nawab imposed a fine of Rs 800,000 for “instituting” a murder case against him. Mir Ahmadan alleged that Tehsildar Syed Mueenuddin Shah, Levies Hawaldar Thara Khan, a DCO office employee Ali Nawaz, Khameesa Khan and DCO driver Shah Bakhsh’s minor daughter were murdered by Bugtis.
Hundreds of people including government officials were humiliated by shaving off their beards, moustaches, eyebrows and heads by Bugtis. He accused Bugtis of being involved in subversive activities such as blowing up of railway tracks, oil and gas transmission lines, electricity pylons, destroying communication system, laying landmines and killing innocent people. He demanded the government take serious action against Nawab Akbar Bugti and his followers to purge Balochistan of terrorists.
