Baluch and Sindhis are joining hands to protest against Pakistan military atrocities and state terrorism in Baluchistan when former coup leader General Pervez Musharraf comes to speak at an event in Houston on Saturday morning.

Aziz Narejo, a former president of the largest Sindhi organization, Sindhi Association of North America, said he will join the protest organized by the American Friends of Baluchistan.

"This is our commitment," said Narejo. "We must be active on such issues." Narejo will be driving all the way from Corpus Christi to attend the protest.

The Pakistani coup plotter and former dictator has been invited by the World Affairs Council of Houston.

Musharraf had launched a brutal military operation in Baluchistan that left thousands, including former governor and chief Minister Nawab Akbar Bugti and former assembly member Nawabzada Bala'ach Marri, killed.

Rashid Baloch and Malik Baloch of the American Friends of Baluchistan said General Musharraf who has been summoned by the Baluchistan High Court for the assassination of Nawab Bugti is behaving as if he is a statesman though he was nothing more than a third-rate tin-pot dictator, who belongs to the dustbin of history.

"The American Friends of Balochistan is determined to follow this dirty dictator to his grave for his heinous crimes committed against humanity in Balochistan. We will try to put pressure on the US Administartion to debar him from entering the US to serve his nefarious designs," they said. "He will be chased anywhere he goes in the US," they said.

The two Baluch activists said Musharraf has evil designs on Baluchistan.

Even those who speak Musharraf's mother tongue Urdu said they condemn the dictator's atrocities in Baluchistan.
Javed Raffat Siddique of Karachi -- a frend of Senator Hasil Bizenjo -- said he will be joining the protest in solidarity with the Baluch people.i

The protest is slated for Saturday, October 10th at the Omni Hotel, Four Riverway, Houston, Texas at 10:45 am.

Earlier on September 29, a Baluch activist exposed Musharraf's mindset by calling him a dictator and killer in fron of hundreds of people at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore. At that event, Musharraf publicly threatened the Baluch.

Nawab Bughti was perhaps one of the worst people in Pakistani history... and none of his supporters have the right to call anyone else a Dictator.

    Bugti never lost any elections. Pakistanis must leave Baluch territories.

      i wouldn't call what he ran in as "elections"... "ultimatums" might be a better term for the poor baluchi's who suffered under him.

      Baluchistan is a part of Pakistan. Baluchi's ARE Pakistani's.
