Do you believe that India is actively supporting the Baloch Liberation Army?

[MenInG]

The KSE attack is the latest but there have been other instances in the past also.

To many this is an example of India's active support of the BLA but others feel that BLA are indigenous and fueled by excesses against the people of Balochistan

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Add PTM and Sindh Liberation army to the list too.

 

[Belawal2014]

You'd be a fool not to.

 

[MenInG]

But isnt this also not a convenient way of dumping our issues on India? Isnt this the same thing they do in Kashmir?

 

[Giannis]

Yes, there's a strong evidence for their support of armed groups in Balochistan and their interferrence in Afghanistan. Also India has already supported separatist insurgents in the past - 1971 was only 50 years ago.

 

[Slog]

Yes. They’ve said as much

 

[uberkoen]

There is sufficient evidence that this is happening.

 

[Mamoon]

India supports militancy in Balochistan just like we support militancy in J&K.

India defends itself by arguing that it is in response to Pakistan’s activities in J&K, and Pakistan defends itself by arguing that it’s activities in J&K are justified because it is a disputed territory.

Neither side can claim a moral high ground, and thus it is futile to see our PM pointing fingers at India in the parliament. These actions are useful for domestic consumption but have zero impact internationally.

Pakistan’s international reputation is far worse than India’s and Imran’s latest statement (“slip of tongue”) on Osama have only made things worse.

Glad you admit the fact that India supports militancy in Pakistan - clearly shows india is also a terrorist funding country. They always point the fingers at Pakistan but they do it to a much larger scale - BLA, MQM, other separatist groups in Sindh, PTM and probably more.

 

[Bigboii]

Interesting point cause without insurancy we rarely even talk about that province so a little introspection will go a long way in fixing the issue rather than blaming it all on India yes they are responsible but they did see a crack in the foundation and know they're using it

 

[ElRaja]

both countries support militancy within the other, the only difference is regular Pakistanis are far more likely to admit it, especially when it comes to Kashmir, rather than playing the holier than thou card even when they know better.

India is worse, they do it in so many countries. India had backed the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka, they've supported separatists in Nepal and are actively interferring in the domestic politics of the Maldives and Bangladesh, as well as Afghanistan. Bhutan is already a client state of India that is trying to break free, India is the worse neighbhor you could ask for.

There is a huge difference between Bengal and Balochistan.

Bengal - was located thousands of miles away from West Pakistan. The majority of people of a United Pakistan lived there, but were denied there right to form a goverment as the people in West Pakistan did not want a goverment from East Pakistan to rule over them. So it was easy for India to meddle over there.

Baluchistan - is only 40% Baloch, the main other group is Pashtun with various other small ethnic groups. Also Unlike with Bengali's who are in also in West Bengal, there are no significant amount of Baloch in India. So most Indians have zero idea that there millions of Sindhi's and Punjabi's who are of Baloch descent. The most famous of them would be the Zardari family. The chief Minister of Punjab is also a Baloch.

So because of that its unlikely that India can succeed in meddling in Baluchistan, as they know very little about that culture of the province, the majority of people dont want to leave Pakistan, and as it is not thousands of miles away.

Support can mean multiple things. Emotional support, Financial Support, Moral Support, armerd support.

Since apparently according to posters here India is a super poor country with outdated weapons and soldiers, that leaves us with moral and Emotional support which I guess is harmless and we shouldn’t stress too much about it.

KARACHI: The Sindh secretariat on Wednesday announced it was beefing the security of the building following the attack on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday in which three security personnel were martyred and four terrorists were killed.

Gunmen armed with latest weapons and grenades targeted the PSX compound in the city in a bid to take hostages.

A notification issued by the secretariat said people will not be unnecessarily allowed inside the building neither will police mobiles accompanying VIPs be permitted to enter or given permission to park inside.

“Only those cars that have tokens will be allowed inside the secretariat premises,” the notification said.

Earlier, Sindh Assembly speaker Agha Siraj Durrani told lawmakers that the assembly building could be the target of a terrorist attack.

Speaking during a session of the provincial assembly on Monday, the speaker informed the lawmakers that the Sindh Assembly had been facing threats of terror attacks. Durrani said he had earlier received warnings that the assembly building could come under terrorist attack.

He said photographs of the provincial assembly building had been obtained from terrorists who were earlier arrested. The Speaker said that after receiving threats, security measures for the provincial assembly building had been heightened.

Durrani said the Sindh chief minister was fully apprised of the entire situation. He advised the legislators to remain fully alert to such a threatening situation.

Armed militants had arrived at the PSX compound in a sedan on Monday morning and attempted to enter it from the parking ground side as the business started. They were seen shouldering backpacks and carrying automatic weaponry in an amateur video captured by an eyewitness.

After failing to enter the compound, the militants launched a gun and grenade attack and attempted to storm the building while opening indiscriminate fire. They were engaged by security personnel posted and failed to make headway amidst the heavy exchange of fire.

Four militants were killed in the exchange of fire along with two PSX security guards and a police officer during the face-off.

[pillionrider]

I heard about a region called Balochistan for the first time here on PP a few years back. Then realized it had some issues and was the Pak version of a mini Kashmir, much later. So, India might or might not be involved there, but it has never been part of our consciousness. It's only in recent times during the Modi era that I've started seeing Balochistan entering Youtube comments from Indian users.

So either we've been stirring trouble quietly and efficiently before Modi. Or it could be the old Pak cricket fan malaise of blaming every loss to India on fixing, coming out here - we are a happy, united country, it's India that's to blame.

And those who quote medical treatment that some Baloch separatist allegedly received in India - didn't some top Taliban guy get treated in Imran's cancer hospital?

 

[MenInG]

The Chinese Embassy in Pakistan on Saturday “strongly condemned” a suicide attack targeting a vehicle carrying Chinese nationals in Balochistan's Gwadar district on Friday, asking Pakistan “to take practical and effective measures” to prevent recurrence of such incidents in future.

At least two children were killed and three people were injured when a suicide bomber blew himself near the vehicle at around 7pm yesterday (Friday). Balochistan government spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani had confirmed it was a suicide attack.

Banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), Majeed Brigade, had later in the day claimed responsibility for the attack.

In its statement today, the Chinese Embassy demanded Pakistan to properly treat the wounded and “conduct a thorough investigation on the attack, and severely punish the perpetrators.”

It also extended “its sincere sympathies to the injured of both countries” and expressed its deep condolences to the victims in Pakistan.

“At the same time, relevant departments at all levels in Pakistan must take practical and effective measures to accelerate to implement strengthened whole-process security measures and upgraded security cooperation mechanism to ensure that similar incidents will not happen again,” the embassy said.

The statement pointed out that the security situation in Pakistan had been severe of late as “there have been several terrorist attacks in succession, resulting in the casualties of several Chinese citizens.”

The embassy reminded the Chinese citizens in Pakistan to be “vigilant, strengthen safety precautions, reduce unnecessary outings, and take effective security protections.”

China is heavily involved in the development of the Gwadar port on the Arabian Sea as part of the $60 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which is itself part of China's Belt and Road infrastructure project.

There have been other attacks targeting Chinese nationals in the country in recent weeks.

Late last month, a Chinese engineer who had recently arrived in Karachi was shot at and wounded in a moving car by gunmen riding a motorcycle in the city's SITE area where he was supposed to repair imported machinery. The banned Balochistan Liberation Front had claimed responsibility for that attack.

On July 14, a bus carrying Chinese workers in the Dasu area of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Upper Kohistan district fell into a ravine after an explosion, killing 13 people, including nine Chinese nationals. The blast left 28 other people injured.

After initially suggesting that the incident was an accident, the government earlier this month said a suicide bomber had attacked the bus which was carrying Chinese workers to the under-construction Dasu dam.

Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said last week that India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and Afghanistan’s National Dir*ectorate of Security (NDS) intelligence agencies were behind the attack.

Yes they are. We should actively support all freedom movements in India now that they have been kicked out of Afghanistan. The ISI need other targets now.

 

[Bewal Express]

Is this even a question

 

[ahmedzee]

India just recently openly claimed their support to arm and train mukhti bahni to destabilize and break Pakistan. I am 100% sure they are doing the same with BLA, TTP, etc.
Thing is, since the creation of Pakistan, india is one country that didn’t accept it. It is still hellbent on proving that Pakistan is a broken nation and two nation theory was false. Hence why the stupid august 14 “Partition Horror Day” as announced by Modi govt. So India is there to break Pakistan, and I don’t see many western forces condemning it. They do condemn when iran wants to wipe Israel off the fade of the earth but not when India wants to do the same to Pakistan.

[rvd]

Not everything is about India.

Security planners got spooked by the China crisis last year and realized how vulnerable they would be in a two front war.

Since that time they've tried to work behind the scenes to cool tensions with Pakistan. India has zero motivation to escalate things

 

[MenInG]

Question needs to be asked again.

 

[Stewie]

of course they are..

 

[Lego20]

India, under Doval/Modi counters Pakistan's Kashmir aggression with diplomatic/moral/monetary support to BLA. Nothing secretive or immoral about it. Its pure *** for tat or offensive defence.

At best, India are just catalyzing whatever existing hatred exists between a section of the Baloch people and the rest of Pakistan.

 

[Kaptan]

And even in Kashmir, Pakistan is obviously making full use of the Kashmiri locals' hatred of the Indian government policies.

 

[Stewie]

India is funding the terrorists basically, pumping in the money and training. If I understand correctly thats what Kulbushan dude was doing. I think Indians efforts in Balochistan have seen mixed results and they are not as sustained as they would have liked due to the fact the Pakistani army has actually taken some measures to give jobs to at least a couple of guys from each tribe and bring a spirit of inclusion there to mend the fences.

This latest episode, though, is troubling.

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Yes. India is definitely helping the Balochis financially and morally.
This has got accelerated as part of Ajit Dovals doctrine of offensive defence. It’s to hit back at ISI and Pakistani state with a taste of their own medicine.
Something similar was done in 60s and 70s with mukti bahini by government of Indira Gandhi.

One thing you have to take into account is that every time the Pakistanis get closer to the Saudis, it pisses the Iranians off and they will also fund the Baloch movement via Afghanistan.

I do agree Baloch ppl deserve to have their freedom and if they wish to have their independence from Pakistan, it should be given and they should not be oppressed by Pakistan.

 

[daytrader]

India ofcourse would have an interest in promoting BLA and they will always look to exploit the vulnerable within Pakistan. That is expected... however as Pakistanis we need to ponder over the recent events as to how an educated young woman, a mother of 2 could be brainwashed/blackmailed to do such a thing. It' a failure of our government and agencies. We need to deal with all internal elements that are a cause of friction. Agencies and Baloch politicians were busy trying to oust Imran Khan. If they focus on the welfare of the Balochis and the internal traitors, this 'insurgency' can be overcome.

 

[cricketjoshila]

So how is India funding and training and equipping baloch insurgents?

Earlier PP posters will say Indian consulates in Afghanistan are used. Though nothing was proved.

Now those consulates dont exist and Afghanistan is ruled by Taliban.

So what's India's access point to Pakistan?

 

[Local.Dada]

Indian policy doesn’t support terrorist groups. Baloch folk might have legitimate grievances and there will be always emotional and humanitarian support but if some group does any activity that kills innocent civilians Indian govt condemns that.

For example you will see militants with guns etc saying they are fighting a holy war for Kashmir etc on Pakistan television. I have seen clips of those before. As I said that should not be confused with any legitimate grievance the Kashmiri people might have.

You won’t see any terrorist organizations like that get coverage on Indian media.

People need to understand that it works differently in India. These things are not looked at endearingly.

Pakistan needs to come up with its own solution like Modi did with Kashmir by abrogating article 370. Maybe get some investments into Balochistan. Stop blaming India.

India doesn’t have spare change to fund an unrest in Pakistan.

Exactly! The narrative in Pakistan was that Indian consulates in Afghanistan were training TTP and BLA terrorists to mount attacks against Pakistan. In order to reduce terrorism in Pakistan, there was a need to bring the Afghan Taliban into the government. We heard this narrative on TVs every night for more than a decade.

Guess what happened after Afghan Taliban came to power? Cross border attacks and terror attacks have gone up dramatically.

Till our politicians and our establishment cease misleading the nation, Pakistanis and foreigners alike would continue to get killed in Pakistan.

We need to accept that terrorism in Pakistan is a home-grown phenomenon and there is no Hindu or Yahoodi sazish!

Propaganda over killing of ‘missing persons’ debunked as Zaheer Baloch turns out to be alive
Drop scene of the so-called killing of Zaheer raised some questions about the narrative of 'missing persons'

Engineer Zaheer Baloch, who was claimed to have been killed during Ziarat operation by security forces, turned out to be alive, debunking the propaganda by self-interested elements in the name of 'missing persons'.

The drop scene of the so-called killing of Zaheer raised some questions about the narrative of missing persons. It has left some serious questions to be answered.

▪ How his family recognised him and declared him dead?

▪ Without proof, since last October, who planned the entire campaign?

▪ Was the family under pressure from the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) to protest for the missing persons?

▪ Is it not an international scandal supported by local actors to defame Pakistan and security forces to destabilise Balochistan?

There has been incessant propaganda on the purported death of Engineer Zaheer Baloch.

It’s now the moral responsibility of all those who have been deliberately or unknowingly due to human factors sympathising with the so-called 'missing persons' while criticising the security forces by presenting them as villains.

His mother’s video statement and transcript along with a copy of the FIR registered by his brother in December last year [he got missing in October] needed to be seen and highlighted.

Addressing a press conference earlier in the day, Senior Leader of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Sardar Noor Ahmed Bangulzai, who is also the tribe chief, debunked the propaganda over the so-called killing of Zaheer. He said a drama was staged on the killing of missing persons after the Ziarat operation and self-interested elements held a sit-in on the Red Zone of Quetta in the name of missing persons.

Bangulzai added that the relatives of the missing persons were accusing the security forces of the martyrdom of Zaheer. "He was alive and present with him during the press conference," he said.

He added that after the operation against the terrorists who killed Shaheed Lieutenant Colonel Laiq Baig Mirza and his cousin Umar Javed and organised malicious propaganda was started to malign the security forces.

Engineer Zaheer's name was chanted in the protest camps organised by the BNM in Europe. “Zaheer Baloch’s family members buried the body without identification on whose request?” he queried while breaking the propaganda myth.

On the occasion, the alleged missing person Engineer Zaheer confessed that he did not belong to any terrorist organisation, adding, “On my death, my family members recited Fateha but I am alive and have reached my home safely”.

An FIR was also registered regarding the disappearance of Zaheer.

Founder of banned BNA arrested in 'innovatively conceived' operation: ISPR
Gulzar Imam arrested in 'carefully planned, meticulously executed' operation spanning months, says ISPR

The leader and founder of the banned Baloch National Army (BNA), Gulzar Imam alias Shambay, was arrested in a high-profile intelligence-based operation by the security forces, said a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Friday.

The 'high-value target' has been a "hardcore militant as well as founder and leader of the banned outfit Baloch National Army (BNA) which came into being after the amalgamation of Baloch Republican Army (BRA) and United Baloch Army (UBA)", read the statement.

The military's media wing elaborated that the BNA has been responsible for dozens of violent terrorist attacks in Pakistan, including attacks on law enforcement agencies (LEAs) installations in Panjgur and Noshki.

Gulzar also remained as "deputy to Brahamdagh Bugti in Baloch Republican Army (BRA) till 2018 and was instrumental in the formation of Baloch Raji Aajoi Sangar (BRAS) and remained its operational head", according to the statement.

"His visits to Afghanistan and India are also on record; his linkages with Hostile Intelligence Agencies (HIAs) are being investigated," ISPR added. It further stated that hostile intelligence agencies "tried to exploit Gulzar Imam to work against Pakistan and its national interests".

"He was apprehended after an innovatively conceived, carefully planned and meticulously executed operation, spanned over months over various geographical locations."

Precisely. India likes to gloss over the police state that is Kashmir, the lack of access to foreign or non partisan media, and the extrajudicial actions of the police and the army. Similarly, Pakistan likes to gloss over how it’s devolving into a failed state.

"In the process of clearance operation, two soldiers have embraced shahadat (martyrdom) while another three are injured."

Two weeks ago, seven terrorists were killed as security forces gallantly fought off three assaults within a short span of time in the night between April 28 and 29 in Lakki Marwat, the ISPR said.

Three soldiers were also martyred in fierce exchange of fire during the encounters with terrorists in Lakki Marwat town and the general area of Amir Kalam and Tajbi Khel.

During his maiden press conference, on April 25, as director general of the ISPR, Maj-Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry had revealed that a total of 8,269 intelligence-based operations (IBOs) had been conducted since January as a result of which 1,535 terrorists had been killed or apprehended.

Of these, 4,040 IBOs were conducted in Balochistan, another 3,591 in K-P, 119 in Punjab and 519 operations were conducted in Sindh. On average, over 70 IBOs were being conducted daily by the army, police and LEAs since January, he continued.
