Baloch seek Sultan Qaboos help to defeat Pak-China plan to take over Gwadar WASHINGTON DC: An American Baloch organization has sought the help of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said government in Oman to foil the Pakistani and Chinese plans to deny the people of Balochistan the ownership of Gwadar Port, which is regarded as the Jewel of Asia. Gwadar once belonged to Oman and the Baloch are asking the Sultanate of Oman to ask Pakistan and China to cease and desist.

Response to a Query Regarding Pakistan’s releases pertaining to Mr. Kulbhushan Jadhav In response to a query regarding the so-called confessional video of Mr. Kulbhushan Jadhav and a  press release by Pakistan in the matter today, the Official Spokesperson said: “ The developments bring out once again the lack of transparency and farcical nature of proceedings against Mr. Jadhav on concocted charges, continued violation of his legal and consular rights and an attempt to introduce prejudice in the proceedings in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Pakistan has never disclosed even to the ICJ Mr. Jadhav's purported appeal to a military tribunal in Pakistan and has effectively prevented his parents from pursuing the appeal  and the petition filed by Mr Jadhav's mother. The details and circumstances of the alleged mercy petition by Mr Jadhav are not clear and even the fact of its existence is doubtful, shrouded as the proceedings against Mr Jadhav have been in opacity.

This is the usual tag line for advertisements promoting the port city as the next best destination for investment in real estate after Dubai. These adverts generally feature a skyline dominated by well-lit, high-rise buildings lining wide avenues and towering over a shimmering waterfront. The Gwadar of reality has neither electricity nor drinking water of its own. Its electricity – available only eight hours a day – comes from Iran and its water is brought from reservoirs located far away. Yet the city and its eponymous tehsil are changing. Those travelling regularly on the Makran Coastal Highway have seen this change pick up pace recently. Around Nilhat, a village where Gwadar tehsil starts and Pasni tehsil to the east ends, boundary walls have cropped up on rural lands that only six months ago looked like green fields sown with fodder crops.
