On both occasions old pistols were used, and that too for aerial firing only. Similarly in the early and mid 1970s as well, when NSF and BSO frequently clashed with right-wing student groups like IJT, there are only two reported cases of firing: One at the University of Karachi (in 1974) and the other at Lahore’s Punjab University (in 1975). The brawling students usually used bare fists, chains, knuckle-dusters and knives.įor example, in all the reported cases of campus clashes between the left-wing National Students Federation (NSF) and the fundamentalist Islami Jamiat Tulaba (IJT) in the 1960s, there is no mention at all of students ever using any firearms. However, sophisticated weapons were hardly available or used by the youth in campus violence during the 1960s and 1970s. Instead, the Kalashnikov is reported to have first appeared in Pakistan on university campuses in Karachi and Lahore. However, after a decade Bugti himself became a staunch Baloch separatist and was assassinated by the military in 2006. Bugti supported the Bhutto regime's action against Baloch insurgents. Z A Bhutto shares a cigar with Baloch leader Akbar Bugti in 1974. In fact, some of the guns, it was believed, had already reached Baloch militants.ĭespite the government’s claims, there are very few reported incidents where the fighters of the leading Baloch militant organisation of the time, the Baloch Liberation Front (BLF), or its youth wing, the Baloch Students Organisation (BSO), were said to have used AK-47s in their battles against the heavily armed Pakistan Army. The cache, the government claimed, was destined for Balochistan. In 1973 the Pakistan government under the leadership of the populist, left-leaning prime minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, claimed to have confiscated a cache of arms and ammunition that included up to 300 AK-47s from the Iraqi attaché’s house in Islamabad. Part of a network of sites that includes GlobalFirepower, a data-driven property used in ranking the top military powers of the world,, the World Directory of Modern Military Aircraft, and, detailing the history of the world's most iconic spyplane.It is believed that some of the militant Baloch nationalists who were fighting an insurgency against the Pakistan Army in the remote mountains of the arid province of Balochistan in the 1970s had acquired a couple of AK-47s from Iraq, whose ruling Ba’ath Socialist Party was allegedly supporting the insurgency.
