بلوچستان جي موجوده صورتحال تي اختر مينگل قومي اسيمبلي جي عهدي تان استعيفيٰ ڏئي ڇڏي. هن پريس ڪانفرنس ۾ چيو, هن پارليامينٽ ۾ ويهڻ کان بهتر آهي ته پڪوڙا کپايان.
قومي اسيمبليءَ جي سيٽ تان مينگل جي استعيفيٰ انهن کاٻي ڌر ۽ قومپرست پارٽين لاءِ پنهنجي سياسي حڪمت عملين تي نظر ثاني ڪرڻ جو لمحو آهي، جيڪي هن ضابطي هيٺ جمهوري نظام ۾ پارلياماني نظام ۽ چونڊ سياست ذريعي بامعني سڌارا آڻڻ چاهين ٿيون. بامقصد ۽ حقيقي تبديلي آڻڻ لاءِ، متبادل قومپرست ۽ کاٻي ڌر جي سياسي پارٽين، کي پنهنجي حڪمت عملين تي نظرثاني ڪرڻي پوندي. انهن کي چونڊ سياست ڪرڻ ۽ ان جو حصو بڻجڻ جي بجاءِ، پارٽين جي ننڍن يونٽن کي منظم ڪرڻ تي ڌيان ڏيڻ گهرجي، عوام ۾ نظرياتي ۽ سياسي شعور اجاگر ڪرڻ انتهائي ضروري آهي, جيڪڏهن اسان واقعي هن نظام کي تبديل ڪرڻ چاهيون ٿا، جيڪو اڻ برابري، ناانصافي ۽ استحصال تي ٻڌل آهي. جيتوڻيڪ اهو سياسي عمل ڊگهو آهي، پر اهو ئي پائيدار سياسي رستو آهي, جنهن ذريعي هن جبر واري نظام کي بنيادي سطح کان نئين سر جوڙي سگهجي ٿو. بنيادي سطح, گراس روٽ ليول تي مسلسل سياسي ڪم ڪرڻ کان سواءِ چونڊ سرگرميون ۽ سياست به اهي ئي ساڳيا نتيجا ڏيندي، جيڪي اسان گذريل 76 سالن کان ڏسي رهيا آهيون. بيشمار واعدا، ۽ صفر تبديلي.
Akhtar Mengal has resigned from the National Assembly, citing the "prevailing situation in Balochistan" as his reason. He expressed that the ongoing circumstances in Balochistan have left him with no choice but to take this step. In his resignation letter to Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, the Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan, Mengal stated, "Our province has been consistently marginalized and ignored in this House. Each day, we are pushed further to the wall, leaving us no choice but to reconsider our roles."
Mengal's resignation from the National Assembly seat serves as a stark reminder of the futility of seeking meaningful reform through parliamentary means. The notion that holding a seat in the National or Provincial Assembly, or in any government ministry or council, can bring about significant change in a region or province is misguided. The ruling elite, driven by capitalist interests and vested agendas, will never permit reforms that threaten their power. The system is inherently designed to maintain the status quo, benefiting those who align with corrupt forces and comply with their policies. Without establishing a new system based on equality, justice, and welfare, true change remains out of reach.
Leftist and nationalist political groups must reconsider their focus on electoral politics, which offers little hope in a system built to serve the interests of a tiny elite—less than one percent of the population. The laws, policies, and regulations are consistently manipulated to favor various lobbies and criminal networks, leaving the majority disenfranchised. The electoral process is rife with corruption, including vote tampering, political victimization, vote-buying, and systemic pressures to conform, making it impossible for genuine public benefit to emerge from this system.
Over the past 16 years, characterized by poor governance, corruption, and mismanagement, Sindh has seen no example akin to Mengal's resignation for a national cause. Instead, the "national card" has frequently been exploited for personal, business, and political gain. Those in power often align with the actual rulers on critical national issues—such as the canals of the Indus River, water distribution among provinces, amendments to the IRA bill, corporate land acquisitions, privatization of public spaces, and the exploitation of mineral and natural resources—without delivering any benefits to the indigenous and local populations.
The ruling elite consistently uses the pseudo parliamentary system to serve their vested interests rather than representing the true voice of the people. To create meaningful change, alternative political groups, including nationalists and leftists, must rethink their strategies. Instead of pursuing electoral politics and be part of it, they should focus on grassroots organizing by establishing small party units, employing full-time workers who maintain close relationship with local communities, and conducting study circles and meeting to engage with people' on everyday issues, political and ideological awareness. Continuously following up on everyday problems and raising political awareness among the masses is crucial. Although this approach is slow and time-consuming, it is the only permanent and effective solution. True change can only be achieved through consistent engagement with people at the grassroots level, in small villages, towns, and cities.
