Razzak Baloch, a prominent Baloch leader, also called for international support, particularly from India and the US, emphasising the need for peace and an end to military oppression by Pakistan.
Baloch leader, Razzak Baloch, has made an explosive claim on how Pakistani authorities have lost control of over 80 per cent of Balochistan. In an interview with TAG TV, Razzak Baloch, secretary general of the Baloch American Congress, claimed that Pakistani forces are afraid to even leave Quetta after dark, and stated that they should withdraw with dignity in time, rather than waiting for a situation like Bangladesh to happen.
“Pakistani forces cannot even leave Quetta after dark,” Baloch told TAG TV, adding that even elected Pakistani officials have admitted to this situation and how the military avoids patrolling from 5 pm to 5 am due to security fears.
He stated that Pakistan has lost control over 70–80 per cent of the region and urged global powers, especially India and the United States, to support the Baloch struggle. “If India supports us, our doors will open,” he said, asserting that delays in support would only strengthen what he described as a “barbaric army,” affecting the region’s stability.
Calling for peace and an immediate end to military oppression across Pakistan’s provinces, the leader further remarked that it would be wiser for the Pakistani army to withdraw with dignity rather than face a situation like Bangladesh, where only their boots were left behind.
Mir Yar Baloch Declares Independence
Just days ago, Baloch leader Mir Yar Baloch asserted that Balochistan was never a part of Pakistan and that the region “declared independence on 11 August 1947 when Britishers were leaving Balochistan”. “We are not Pakistani, we are Balochistani,” he said.
