BLA on footsteps of the Taliban! Destroys Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s statue and kills Pakistani soldiers, New Challenge to Pakistan
_Vinayak Barot
To get freedom from Pakistan – the BLA (Balochistan Liberation Army) is consistently fighting with the Army and Authority of Pakistan. The Baloch Republican Army on Sunday destroyed a statue of Pakistan’s founding father Muhammad Ali Jinnah in a bomb attack in Pakistan’s Gwadar and killed at least four security personnel of Pakistan’s paramilitary forces in Balochistan Province.
There are many disputes and grudges between the government of Pakistan and the BLA. Killings of the Pakistani soldiers in Balochistan and steadily rising disputes between the BLA and the government of Pakistan may force the BLA to behave like the Taliban and the BLA may follow the footsteps of the Taliban to liberate Balochistan from Pakistan.
According to the International Political experts – The BLA is taking full advantage of the internal issues developed in Pakistan and the International pressure on Pakistan including the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) grey list. The financial condition of Pakistan weakened in the last few years.
The Balochistan Liberation Army – listed as a terrorist organization by the US, the UK, and Pakistan like the Taliban is listed as a terrorist group, but now many countries in the world like the US and the UK wants to develop their diplomatic relations with the Taliban as the Taliban have takeover Afghanistan and take the authority into their hands.
In 2019, the United States designated the BLA, which is fighting the Pakistani rule in Balochistan province, as a terrorist organization.
The Pakistan-based political experts have said that “After the incident, Many Pakistanis have expressed their anger and slammed the Balochistan Republican Army, but this anger of Pakistani people will increase the distance between the Baloch people and other people of Pakistan.
According to the BLA – This comes as retaliation from Baloch activists who have repeatedly alleged human rights violations and atrocities being committed by Pakistan in Balochistan.
Meanwhile, an official statement by the Balochistan Republican Army criticized Muhammad Ali Jinnah for occupying and encroaching the Baloch land. In addition, they alleged that Jinnah was an agent of British imperialism involved in ‘cunning politics’. The statement also adds that Pakistan’s Army invaded Balochistan. “Jinnah forcefully incorporated Balochistan into the ‘newborn Pakistan’,” the Spokesperson of the BLA said.
The people of Balochistan are strongly opposing the government of Pakistan, development, and agendas of Pakistan the government are trying to do in Balochistan. People of Balochistan don’t want to accept Pakistan as their country and the movement of ‘Free Balochistan’ may become more aggressive in the upcoming days.
