The attacks targeted Pakistani military convoys, intelligence centres and mineral transportation operations in a bid to challenge Islamabad’s control over the resource-rich province.
अब बलूचों के ताबड़तोड़ हमलों से थर्राया पाक, 51 ठिकानों पर किया हमला
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for 71 attacks in more than 51 locations. They described the place of attack as “Balochistan Occupied”. In a statement, the BLA warned that a new order in South Asia has become inevitable and major changes are about to take place in the region. The BLA rejected allegations of foreign forces being involved and said that it is a dynamic and decisive player in the strategic landscape of the region.
These attacks targeted Pakistani military convoys, intelligence centres and mineral transportation operations to challenge Islamabad’s control over this resource-rich province. The BLA said, “We categorically reject the idea that the Baloch national resistance is a proxy of any country or power.”
It further said, “The BLA is neither a pawn nor a silent spectator. We have our rightful place in the current and future military, political and strategic formation of the region and we are fully aware of our role.”
Accusing Pakistan of deceit and fraud, the BLA said Islamabad hides its war policy behind talks of peace and brotherhood. “Every peace, ceasefire and brotherhood talk by Pakistan is only a sham, war strategy and temporary ploy,” the BLA said. It warned India and the international community not to fall prey to Pakistan’s “deceptive peace talks”.
The BLA described Pakistan as “a country” “whose hands are stained with blood and whose every promise is soaked in blood.”
BLA spokesperson Jind Baloch said the recent attacks were not just for destruction but to test battlefield preparedness. “During the peak of military tensions between India and Pakistan earlier this week, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) opened a new front for the Pakistan Army. The BLA carried out 71 coordinated attacks in more than 51 locations in occupied Balochistan which lasted for several hours,” he said.
He further said, “The aim of these attacks was not only to destroy the enemy but also to check military coordination, ground control and defensive position, so as to strengthen the preparedness for future organized warfare.”
The BLA statement also launched a scathing attack on Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI and accused it of promoting international terrorism. “Pakistan has not only been a breeding ground for global terrorists but also a hub of state-sponsored growth of deadly terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed and ISIS,” the statement said.
“ISI is the network behind this terrorism and Pakistan has become a nuclear state with violent ideology,” he said. The BLA appealed to the global community, especially India, for political, diplomatic and defense support.
“If we get political, diplomatic and defense support from the world, especially India, the Baloch nation can put an end to this terrorist state,” the statement said. The BLA said such assistance could pave the way for a “peaceful, prosperous and independent Balochistan”. The BLA issued a grim warning that Pakistan’s current attitude is a global threat. “If Pakistan continues to be tolerated, the existence of this state could be disastrous for the entire world in the coming years,” it said.
