The Role of National Awamy Party (Nap) Government and Its Impact On the Politics of Balochistan
Keywords:
NAP, Balochistan, Z.A Bhutto, dismissal, nationalismAbstract
National Awami Party was the largest nationalist party to ever form
government in Balochistan. It had a successful alliance of the
Baloch Sardars along with the alliance of the Pakhtoon nationalist
leaders as well. This article aimed at discovering the impact of the
dismissal of NAP on the political course of Balochistan. For this
purpose, a liker scale questionnaire was developed and distributed
among 100 people and the responses and opinions of the
participants were analyzed one by one through the SPSS. The results
analyzed showed that the dismissal of the NAP had a deep impact
on the politics of Balochistan and it was the last ditch effort of the
leaders of Balochistan to represent the interests of the people in the
true spirit. Since then, the so called nationalists have replaced the
true nationalism and family politics at the expense of the public
welfare is taking place.
