The Bugti tribe leader, Nawab Aali Bugti on
April 15 blamed the national and international
oil companies are equally responsible for
creating unrest in Balochistan besides the
Government, the intelligence agencies and
the law enforcement agencies, reports The
Express Tribune. Mastan Bugti, a spokesperson
for the Bugti chief, said that besides the
Frontier Constabulary (FC), oil companies
continue to play a negative role in Dera Bugti
as they deprive the Baloch of their legitimate
political and economic rights. Aali’s main
complaint is that as the head of his tribe,
he has not been paid his due share in the
huge income earned by oil and gas companies
exploiting the rich petroleum reservoirs of
the tribal region, according to Mastan. According
to Mastan, these very subordinates have compromised
the economic rights of the Bugti tribes for
personal gain. “Such selfish people always
suited the establishment and the oil companies
as they happily serve their interests for
a little money,” he added. |
