Governor Of Balochistan
The Governor of Balochistan is the head of the province of Balochistan, Pakistan. The post was established on 1 July 1970, after the dissolution of West Pakistan province and the end of One Unit. Under Pakistan's current parliamentary system, the governorship is a ceremonial position, as a symbol of the federation. The governor is appointed by the centre, whereas the principal head of the provincial government remains the elected Chief Minister of Balochistan. Despite this, Balochistan has seen several periods of martial law or governor's rule where, in the absence of a chief minister, the governor exercised broad powers. As of November 2022, Mir Jan Muhammad Khan Jamali is serving as acting governor after the resignation of Syed Zahoor Ahmad Agha on 13 April 2022.

Abdul Aziz Kurd
Abdul Aziz Kurd (1904–1979) was a co-founder of the Anjuman-e-Ittehad-e-Balochan-wa-Balochistan. Among the pioneering Baloch nationalists, he wished to establish an independent Balochistan. Kurd was born to a civil servant to the Khanate of Kalat and was among the handful of Balochs to receive an education. Baloch nationalists allege that he established an underground movement — Young Baloch — in the 1920s, for the initiation of representative democracy in the Khanate, borrowing from the Young Turk Revolution. Martin Axmann finds such claims to lack relevant archival evidence and suspicious in light of Kurd's young age but nonetheless plausible in an atmosphere rife with anti-imperialism. Sometime around 1930, Kurd co-founded the Anjuman-e-Ittehad-e-Balochan-wa-Balochistan (AIBB) with Yousaf Aziz Magsi, a dissident against the Khanate as well as British government. AIBB infused political sentiment in the region and remained a force of significance to the extent of being often ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
