I don't think the PPP care much what the ordinary Baloch think, they just want to get a couple more seats from the BLA is all.

The BLA is an instrument used by the Sardars...they know that when they put impossible conditions in front of the GoP, the compromise would actually be somewhere in the middle...its been the same old tactic for the past 5 decades. Autonomy is fine however within the federation. Give them say over the province's resources (understanding that they owe money to the central government) just like its done in Karachi (revenue is shared with the center from the business hub of Pakistan).
