Sheikh Fakhar-e-Alam
FOR the last two decades, India has been working hard to destabilize Pakistan in general and Balochistan in particular through its terror sponsored activities. India’s evil agenda has been exposed to everyone and its ill intentions are no longer hidden. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is actually an RSS goon, has openly admitted about supporting terrorism in Balochistan. India cannot continue its fake agenda of being prey of state-sponsored terrorism. Kulbhushan Jadhav, a serving Indian Naval officer, was arrested by Pakistani agencies in March 2016 from Saravan region, Balochistan, who was involved in promoting terrorism in Pakistan. Balochistan, the land of opportunities and peace, has again become vulnerable due to recent Indian sponsored bloodshed of eleven coal miners belonging to Shia Hazara community in Mach. On 03 Jan 2021, 11 coal miners were brutally killed when they were on their way to work. Armed militants, having alleged links with Indian RAW, kidnapped them and took them to the nearby mountains. The India-sponsored terrorists identified the miners as being from the Hazara community and executed them in order to fan sectarian violence within Pakistan. It is an Indian plot to fan sectarianism in Pakistan.
The Hazara community remained on protest for six days against the terrorist act along with dead bodies of their loved ones in Mach. State representatives including PM, Interior Minister, CM Balochistan, federal and provincial ministers and mainstream opposition leaders visited the protest camp of the Hazara families and showed their condolence on the tragic incident and ensured that Indian designs will be exposed on national and international level. Top military leadership, expressing their grievance on the tragic incident, also assured support to end the menace of terrorism from the country. India is trying to turn Balochistan into a graveyard of innocent citizens. Such grave acts of cruelty had been committed against the Hazara community over a period of time through Indian agents and Baloch sub-nationalists. India’s massive interference has created serious repercussions for the national security and economic development of Pakistan. This is a well-planned conspiracy against Pakistan. India has always been working to divide Pakistan on the basis of ethnicity and sectarianism. India kept on deteriorating the relations of Pakistani State with its Baloch population. Pakistan has “irrefutable evidence” of terrorists funding by India.
Maj (R) Gaurav Arya, who is the mouthpiece of RAW and Hindutva forces, has claimed repeatedly that India is behind the unrest in Balochistan. His confessions of regular contact with Baloch insurgents and separation of Balochistan from Pakistan are of serious nature. He has told the world about the manifesto of RAW and Modi’s government that both are working hard to split Balochistan. Major (R) Gaurav Arya is running “Defensive Offence” Channel on which he can be seen using derogatory remarks about Pakistan, projecting unrealistic queries and trying to divide the defence forces on the basis of distorted facts and fabricated figures. Ethnic differences and sectarian rifts remained one of the biggest fault lines in Balochistan, which was highly triggered by India through propaganda. India kept on supporting insurgency among the Baloch. Pakistan has been repeatedly presenting dossiers in the United Nations to expose Indian patronage to the insurgent groups in Balochistan.
Indian support to proxies against Pakistani defence forces is so evident that now even a layman knows about its intentions. Hundreds of defence forces personnel embraced martyrdom due to the terrorist activities from Indian proxies. There are so many examples where RAW proxy BLA attacked the State installations, Gwadar PC Hotel, Karachi Stock Exchange building, kidnapping of Chinese engineers in Balochistan, bombing national transmission lines of electricity and gas etc. In the past, hundreds of people were trained by Indian army inside India and were labelled as missing persons by Baloch nationalists. There are numerous cases of torture on Baloch people by Indian sponsored armed Ferrari’s and linking it with Pakistani armed forces. RAW is itself funding and monitoring all terrorist activities which are carried out in Balochistan through their agents and Ferraris .Pakistan provided evidence with concrete proof of Indian economic, manpower and materialistic patronage to numerous terrorist organizations, including UN designated terrorist organizations like Baloch Liberation Army, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan and Jamat-ul-Ahrar. The clerics and opinion leaders of the society are the basic target of these organizations to initiate sectarian and political rifts.
India is portraying the world that international intervention is needed in Balochistan and people are not happy from the State which is totally contrary to the reality. For a long time, India has been propagating the ethnic nationalism along with feelings of economic and political exclusion inside Balochistan. India itself has a very vague record regarding human rights. Pakistan desires that the UN Security Council, its permanent member states and international bodies should put pressure on India to halt its terrorist activities inside Pakistan and stop insurgency in Balochistan. India should also understand that peace in the region can only be established if it will end proxy war in Balochistan and other parts of Pakistan. Additionally, Government of Pakistan should also speed up the socio-economic development of Balochistan, which has already been commenced through CPEC and other projects. These projects should be given a boost and extra attention to bring Balochistan in mainstream like other provinces.
