“We respect all religions; under a systematic and pre-planned conspiracy the Hindu minorities are being attacked in Balochistan to send a wrong message to the International community”

London:  “Actual issue of Balochistan is illegal occupation, not the enforced-disappearances. People are being disappeared because of struggle against occupation. Provincialists are misusing the issue of abducted Baloch to pave their way to reach the Parliament of occupying state. They should know that so called suo moto action by Supreme Court is another phase of ongoing operations against Baloch people. The Baloch people are courageously continuing their struggle against Pakistani barbarism and Baloch patriots are holding the flag of freedom high. Hence, Pakistan is hesitant and using the judiciary and provincialists to weaken the Baloch freedom struggle”, Said Hayrbyar Marri, the London based Baloch leader

Marri claimed that Pakistan army and Frontier Corps are directly involved in enforced-disappearances, and extra judicially killings of Baloch political activists.

Criticizing the state policies in Balochistan Marri went on to say that an International beggar like Pakistan was trying to mislead the world by showing bogus sympathy toward the victims of flood in Balochistan. The announcement of help is nothing but lip service; on the ground there is no relief for the Baloch who are affected by the floods. He said. “Those Baloch who were forced to leave their native town due to indiscriminate bombardment by Pakistani army, are living under open sky in appalling conditions. Many have died because of recent floods in those areas. Marri added.

Commenting on the religious tolerance in Balochistan, Hyrbyair Marri said that we respect all religions. He added that under a systematic and pre-planned conspiracy the Hindu minorities are being attacked in Balochistan to send a wrong message to the International community that there is intolerance for other religions. “We want to make it clear to the world that Hindus, Christians and other minorities have lived in Balochistan for hundreds of years in peace and harmony. Baloch nation has always protected Hindu and Christian minorities; they are absolutely free to go to their religious places and practice their religions.

“Today the Pakistani intolerance and extremism has gone to an extent that they are threatening the minorities and forced conversions have become a routine. Those who negate the demands of state sponsored extremist groups are either kidnapped or forced to leave Balochistan.”

Expressing his views about handing over Gawadar Port to China, the Baloch leader said that, “we consider any such agreement collusion between two exploiting nations to strengthen themselves in the region. China is not only eyeing on the Baloch land due to its strategic importance but it is also aiding Pakistan in Baloch genocide as it is helping in exploitation of Baloch resources.

Baloch leader said” we would like to inform all countries including China that they should consider the ground realities and refrain from entering into any agreement with Pakistan that harms the Baloch national interest.”
