It is a well-recognized reality that man has been born free and likes
to live freely. But, sometimes his freedom is snatched away owing to some
inevitable factors, and his every act becomes dependent upon the desire on
others. This consequently plunges him into the deep ravine of slavery. The
specter of slavery does not restrict merely to an individual rather it slowly
and gradually engulfs the whole nation onward. With this, an era of slavery
starts which paralysis the nation. Mostly in this critical time some
individuals of deep thoughts and conscious arise for the rescue of that
oppressed nation. They apply their collective considerations and efforts to
seek the ways for emancipation. They devise organized strategy and
program to achieve freedom again, which mostly result in the formation of
a political party. The formation of National Awami Party (NAP) is also the
historical continuity of that collective efforts and struggle. Ghafar Khan,
Samad Khan Achakzai, Mir Ghous Baksh Bizenjo, Moulana Hamid
Bhashani and Ghulam Murtaza Syed (G. M. Syed) are few to be mentioned
as the founders of NAP. The sole purpose of NAP was purging unity among
oppressed nations to emancipate from the clutches of social, political and
economic slavery. NAP was from the very inception was a very progressive
and anti-imperialist political party and believed in true democratic values.
People reposed their full confidence in the leadership of NAP. In the 1970
general elections the citizens of the Pakistan in general and the inhabitants
of Balochistan and erstwhile North West Frontier Province (NWFP) in
particular extended their full support in the favor of NAP candidates. It
clinched good number of seats in these provinces, which ultimately
succeeded in forming of a coalition government with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) in Baluchistan and NWFP. It embarked upon drastic reform program
in the province under its influence. But, surprisingly, this reforms-based
agenda was proved a fatal blow for the NAP-JUI coalition government
because of a glaring conflict with federal government. Thus, within a very
brief time period Pakistan People’s Party(PPP) led federal government
sent NAP-JUI coalition government packing in the province of Balochistan.
