Balochistan Independence: BNM Leader Claims 'Operation Baam' Just the Start
A Baloch National Movement (BNM) leader has declared that Balochistan will never be part of Pakistan, following significant attacks on the Pakistan army. These coordinated attacks, named 'Operation Baam,' signal a new phase in their struggle for independence.
'Operation Baam' Signifies Strategic Shift
According to the BNM, 'Operation Baam' signifies a strategic shift in the Baloch resistance, aiming to dismantle Pakistan's military presence in the region. The Baloch Liberation Front's (BLF) launched attacks across key districts, demonstrating their ability to conduct synchronized strikes.
Rejection of Pakistani Rule
The BNM emphasizes their rejection of Pakistan's parliamentary system, asserting their fight is for complete independence, not limited autonomy. “We do not want to live under Pakistani rule,” stated the BNM leader.
Historical Context
The conflict's roots trace back to 1948 when Balochistan was annexed by Pakistan. The resistance is now led by younger generations employing modern tactics.
Economic Exploitation
Furthermore, the BNM criticized Pakistan’s economic initiatives like the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), claiming they exploit Baloch resources while offering little in return.
Appeal to the World
They appealed to the international community to recognize their struggle for freedom, stating that 'Operation Baam' is just the beginning of their renewed push.
