Kalabagh to divide country: Nasim Wali 
Lahore - President Awami National Party NWFP Begum Nasim Wali Khan while speaking on the book launching ceremony of Javed Hasmi’s book Mein Baaghi Hoon appreciated the fact that a diverse leadership had gathered to mark the occasion. 
She said previously other provinces used to produce rebels but she was feeling proud because Punjab also created a rebel. 
She commented that in the country’s political history, the three-year movement of the PNA (Pakistan National Alliance) was the greatest movement that had leaders like the late Mufti Mehmood and Nawabzada. She said that country again needed such leaders to get rid of the present regime. 
She regretted that Pakistan’s political history was full of same sad episodes of military interventions. She commented that the situation was like the game of ‘Stairs and Snakes’, where the snake pushes you back to the old position. 
Begum Nasim Wali mentioned that she knew Hashmi when he used to be a student leader from the IJT platform. 
She stressed that the Punjab had the greater responsibility to make the country prosperous. She said Balochistan was in great trouble while dead bodies of Pakistanis soldiers and civilians were coming from the tribal areas of the NWFP. 
She regretted that the government didn’t have the farsightedness to see things for the small provinces. Commenting on General Musharraf’s statement, she agreed that it was not 1970 and added that it could turn out to be worse than that because the people were far more resourceful than the 70s and the country had become a pile of gunpowder. 
She said in the past, the majority (East Pakistan) got separation, now it could be the minority. She said the three provinces were being pitched against the Punjab. Begum Nasim Wali remarked that she was aware that the common people of the Punjab beyond Lahore were suffering, but the civil and military bureaucracy was the root cause of the problem.
Referring to the political tradition, she said for the first time the Muslim League did not serve as a sunflower, going after the power, rather it resisted. She said she respected those leaders of the PML-N who remained loyal to their party in its difficult time. 
She regretted that certain forces had decided to break Pakistan and the Punjab should do more to make sure nothing happens to the solidarity of the country. 
She told the gathering that General Musharraf was all set to announce the construction of the Kala Bagh Dam very soon, which would imply the division of the country. 
She said Pakistan could not afford experiments any more because already different systems had been used here and it had become a laboratory of dictatorship. She said leaders like Mufti Mehmood, Noorani, and Ghaus Bux Bizanjo had signed the constitution but unfortunately that constitution was never allowed to be implemented. 
She said another movement was imminent because breach of the constitution could not continue for a long time. She also remarked that in Pakistan’s history one movement ends at a martial law and warned that now there was no Yahya Khan or Ghulam Ishaq Khan to take over. 
She said it was a strange phenomenon that anybody who is nationalist is dubbed as a traitor. She urged that the smaller provinces should be given more opportunity. She said that she had seen both pre-Independence and post-Independence periods, but unfortunately the country did not see real democracy. 
She questioned if a watchman plunders the house, what would happen. Referring to the construction of Kala Bagh Dam, she warned that we should learn from the past mistakes.
