Why this place is not so important for Freedom fighters? Why they are working around this area?

<b>Mudy Ji :</b>
If there is a serious discussion, on a dedicated thread, and we have a sufficient number of participants then you will find that our Admiral is not so much worried about Gwadar but about the severe lack of Destroyers, Frigates, Corvettes, Missile Boats and most importantly Submarines. To this you can add Dedicated Naval Ports - Bases, Repair Yards including Dry Docks and finally the most important aspect i.e. the ability to attract New Entrants to the Officer Cadre.
The Air Craft Carrier is jut to tell Terroristan in the West and Bhookhanangadesh in the East :

The Balochistani Freedom Fighters will only come into the Picture when there is a Commercial Aspect to the Port. As I see it - provided the situation does not change - there isnât much possible commercially. If it was then the Port of Singapore Authority, who have a Franchise to operate the Port for Thirty Years , would have got on the job and started work last year when they got the contract!!
Let us wait and watch!!!
