Fitna al-Hindustan’s Claims of Controlling Cities in Balochistan and the Reality
Balochistan is the great province of Pakistan where the nation’s future is being written. Its mountains, deserts and sea are not merely geographical features; they are guarantees of Pakistan’s economic development. Projects of national importance, including Gwadar Port, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Saindak and Reko Diq, testify that Balochistan is now moving along the path of progress.
However, Delhi-backed terrorist organisations, including the BLA, BLF and others, repeatedly attempt to obstruct this journey of development. At times, they try to target these projects, while at others, they make exaggerated claims based on falsehoods: that they have seized a particular city, burned government offices, taken control of police stations, forced personnel to flee, captured weapons and established their authority across an entire area.
A video lasting only a few minutes is released on social media, accompanied by a handful of photographs. Their masters abroad, operating through social media handles, then assume that these groups have succeeded in their malicious objectives. It must be noted that they receive dollars in return for staging these very dramas.
The reality, owever, is that the proscribed Fitna al-Hindustan organisations, the BLA and BLF, possess neither the courage nor the strength to take control of any city or area. Nor do they enjoy public support. Their entire activity remains confined to a few minutes of looting, spreading fear and recording videos.
These masked and armed terrorists, who claim to be so-called Sarmachars, usually enter small localities or towns on motorcycles or Zamyad vehicles under the cover of darkness or whenever they find an opportunity during the daytime.
Their first targets are unarmed Baloch civilians. They assault them, rob them of money at gunpoint and even snatch jewellery from women. They raid shops and take away food supplies. They then target a bank. Afterwards, they fire at the wall of a government building or at the vehicle or machinery of a local trader or civil contractor and attempt to set it ablaze so that smoke and flames appear clearly in their video.
Throughout this operation, two or three of their associates continuously record videos on mobile phones, usually lasting no more than five to ten minutes. Afterwards, terrified by the security forces, they attempt to flee towards the mountains.
During their escape, most of the terrorists are killed by the security forces, some are captured in an injured condition, while the remaining militants flee after abandoning the bodies of their associates and even their trousers.
The following day, the spokespersons of these organisations issue lengthy press releases claiming that a particular city is under their complete control and that the public welcomed them.
Any sensible person may ask: if they genuinely gained control, why did they disappear only minutes later? If the public supports them, why do they need to extort money and carry out looting?
The reality is that this is not control but an organised publicity campaign intended to spread fear and advance the enemy’s agenda.
A few days ago, precisely the same drama was staged regarding Chagai city. A video was released on social media claiming that Chagai was under the control of the BLA, described as Fitna al-Hindustan. The reality was entirely different.
Indian-sponsored terrorists entered Chagai after establishing roadblocks with the objective of extorting and looting the Baloch people. They attempted to set a bank on fire. However, as soon as FC Balochistan South received information, it launched an immediate and effective operation.
The terrorists making grand claims could not remain there even for a few hours and, as always, were forced to flee. Several terrorists were killed during the operation.
Consider this: if the proscribed Fitna al-Hindustan organisations, the BLA and BLF, were genuinely well-wishers of the Baloch people, why would they rob banks containing the money of Baloch citizens?
If they are friends of the Baloch, why do they target roads and bridges constructed for the convenience of the Baloch population?
If they sympathise with the Baloch nation, why do they burn National Database and Registration Authority offices where ordinary citizens obtain their identity documents?
If they are the leaders of the Baloch, why do they burn schools where Baloch children receive an education?
And if they represent any ideology, why do they target mosques, which are houses of Allah?
The reality is that Fitna al-Hindustan, the BLA and BLF, have no connection with the Baloch nation. Their only connection is with money, and their entire so-called war of independence is founded upon looting.
Today, a Baloch mother wants to send her son to school. A Baloch father wants to earn enough to provide two meals a day for his children, and Baloch youth want to participate in their province’s development. However, terrorist organisations such as Fitna al-Hindustan, the BLA and BLF, are the greatest obstacle in the way of these aspirations.
The people of Balochistan have now recognised their real faces. Recent events in Balicha, where patriotic Baloch people burned the organisation’s flag, are evidence of this awakening. Through that act, they delivered a clear message: those who loot our resources cannot be our representatives; those who burn our children’s schools cannot be our well-wishers; and those who stain our highways and markets with the blood of innocent Baloch people cannot be our protectors.
The Baloch nation is hospitable, courageous and self-respecting. It has always demonstrated loyalty to the State of Pakistan. By exploiting the Baloch name, Fitna al-Hindustan, the BLA and BLF have committed the greatest insult against the Baloch nation—an unforgivable crime.
At present, FC Balochistan South has made the ground increasingly difficult for terrorists in southern Balochistan. It has made it clear that every individual who challenges the writ of the state in Balochistan will be dealt with an iron hand.
