THE heart cries tear of blood over the situation in Balochistan. In 2006, an American Colonel Ralph Peter presented a new map of the region titled “Blood Borders” in the American Defence Journal, which is considered the world’s largest defence magazine, showing Balochistan separated from Pakistan. It is the real agenda of the colonial forces, for the fulfilment of which brutal terrorists, saboteurs and separatist elements are burning Balochistan in the fire of terrorism with their successive heinous incidents. In order to deal with these conspiracies of the enemy, the top military and civil leadership in the Apex Committee meeting on Thursday decided to root out terrorism from Balochistan. Undoubtedly, it is the sincere determination of the Pakistan Army that they are offering daily sacrifices of their lives for the motherland.
In the past few days, the revelation of Sarah Adams, an important former member of the American CIA and intelligence analyst, that we funded the creation of Pashtunistan and a separate Balochistan, was revealed by the White House. According to my information, the Taliban received 18.5 billion dollars from the United States after withdrawing from Afghanistan. According to Ahmad Shah Masood’s son, 67 million dollars are still coming to Afghanistan every month. It is a moment of thought that Balochistan has been made a Battle Ground. Indian intelligence agency is sponsoring sabotage in Balochistan. From the platform of Balochistan National Front (BNF), a separate state from Kohistan to Chitral is demanded by paid agents of “RAW”.
In Balochistan, RAW along with BLA fuelled Baloch nationalism. Baloch Liberation Army, Baloch Liberation Front, Baloch Liberation Organization and Lashkar-e Balochistan are active for independent Balochistan. Five districts of Balochistan, Sibi, Khuzdar, Turbat, Quetta and Dera Bugti are severely affected by the killings of these organizations. In the name of nationalism, Baloch Liberation Army is involved in other subversive activities including target killing, firing on trains, explosions, blowing up railway tracks and blowing up needle gas pipelines in these districts. There are reports that there are three camps of TTP in Kabul and two training camps of BLA in Jalalabad which are running under the patronage of RAW and Taliban.
Over four hundred BLA terrorists, equipped with advanced weapons and communication systems, are receiving training in camps and targeting Chinese citizens in Pakistan, acting under the direction of their foreign sponsors. Had Kulbhushan Jadhav been punished earlier, RAW’s sleeper cells may not have continued operating in Pakistan. Additionally, it has been revealed that banned organizations receive a portion of profits from Iranian oil smuggling in Balochistan. Many of these armed groups, such as the BLA and BLF, are directly involved in oil smuggling and have also been linked to gang wars in Karachi. RAW provides arms, ammunition, and financial support for their terrorist activities, while the Baloch Students Organization fuels terrorism in educational institutions.
In 2018, the Baloch Liberation Army, Baloch Republican Army, Baloch Liberation Front, and Baloch Republican Guards formed an alliance known as BRASS (Baloch Raji Ajoi Sangar). Currently, the BLA and BLF are collaborating in some areas, and the Baloch Republican Guards have joined their alliance. Balochistan hosts 46 camps of 14 terrorist organizations targeting Punjabis, Hazaras, Sindhis, and Balochs. The recent arrest of Gulzar Imam Shanbe, leader of the banned Baloch Nationalist Army (BNA), highlights the success of our intelligence agencies. Additionally, 70 fugitives have abandoned their arms and reintegrated into society, marking significant progress. The BNA has been involved in target killings and vandalism in Balochistan.
BNA, BLA and other terrorist organizations have Indian patronage and huge funding for these heinous crimes. Many of Balochistan’s missing persons are working with terrorist groups. A missing person, Balach Maula Bakhsh, from whom 500 grams of explosives were recovered, had confessed to involvement in 11 attacks on security forces and the killing of labourers in Turbat. More than three thousand Baloch have been killed by these terrorists. Baloch women have also been victimized by these separatist organizations. In order to discredit the Pakistan Army, these terrorist organizations kill their Baloch opponents and blame it on the security forces. Many well-known websites of Baloch separatists in Pakistan have been blocked by PTA, among which Baloch Warna and Baloch Voice are on top. Terrorist groups are taking huge payments from India for deceiving educated youth.
In 2018, the BLA established its own suicide squad called the Majeed Brigade and started targeting the Chinese. Majeed Brigade has killed 40 Baloch youths in the first quarter of this year. These organizations have started using educated women in terrorism while violating the wonderful Baloch traditions. This shows that these organizations are not Baloch from any angle. In April 2022, 30-year-old Shri Baloch blew himself up outside the Confucius Centre of Karachi University, killing four people including three Chinese instructors. In June 2023, female suicide bomber Sumia Qalandrani Baloch targeted a convoy of the Pakistan Army in Turbat. 25-year-old Sumia was working for the BLA’s media wing.
Karima Mehrab Baloch was found dead mysteriously in Canada in 2020. She was the first woman chairperson of the Baloch Students’ Organization Azad (BSOA) and was working on the Indian payroll. Abdul Ghaffar Longo, the father of Mahrang Baloch, who beat the rights of Baloch, was associated with terrorist organizations like BLA, BSF and BSO, which have been declared as terrorists by the United Nations. Mah Rang Baloch Solidarity Committee was formed after the death of Karima Baloch in Canada. Similarly, Sami Deen is the daughter of Dr Deen Muhammad, who was an associate of Muslim terrorists like Dr Allah Nazar Baloch and who has been declared a terrorist by the United Nations. The nexus of these extremist organizations working in Balochistan with India against Pakistan has become clear, but our security forces are standing as strong as iron, in front of enemy’s evil plans!
