The Baloch Liberation Army has announced that ‘a new order has become inevitable in the region’. In a statement on Sunday, it has stated that it is not a proxy of any state of power. At the same time, it has announced a committed to surround Pakistan from the eastern and western fronts if India makes a ‘final decision to eliminate the terrorist state of Pakistan’.
The statement comes in the backdrop of the ceasefire announced between India and Pakistan on Saturday. The full statement by The Baloch Liberation Army is produced below:
A NEW ORDER HAS BECOME INEVITABLE IN THE REGION – BLA
Baloch Liberation Army presents its clear position in the backdrop of ongoing and escalating conflicts and regional tensions. We strongly reject the idea that Baloch national resistance is a proxy of any state or power. The BLA is neither a pawn nor a silent spectator; Baloch Liberation Army is a dynamic and decisive party. We have our rightful place in the current and future military, political and strategic formation of this region and are fully aware of our role.
At a time when Pakistan, frustrated by its failed military policies and diplomatic isolation, is shouting slogans of traditional deception and false peace, we want to deliver a very clear and unambiguous message to India: every talk of peace, ceasefire and brotherhood from Pakistan is merely a deception, a war tactic and a temporary ruse. The history of this state has been written with the patronage of broken promises, backstabbing and terrorism. This is a state whose hands are stained with blood and whose every promise is soaked in it.
We tell India and other states of the region that the time has passed to believe in Pakistan’s promises. Now is the time for subcontinent and the world to take decisive action against this terrorist state. Pakistan has not only been a breeding ground for global terrorists but also a center for the state-sponsored development of deadly terrorist groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and ISIS. The ISI is the network behind this terrorism, and under its auspices, Pakistan has become a nuclear state of violent ideology, which is becoming a volcano for its own people and for the entire world.
Our armed struggle on motherland Balochistan is testimony to the fact that the Baloch nation, without any external military or financial support is defeating the world’s seventh nuclear state on our soil. We have rendered the enemy helpless on mountain fronts, urban fronts and every other front. If we receive political, diplomatic and defense support from the world—especially from India— Baloch nation can eliminate this terrorist state and lay the foundation for a peaceful, prosperous and independent Balochistan. A Balochistan that will not only permanently stop the export of terrorism to the subcontinent but will also begin a new chapter of peace and prosperity in this region.
The BLA also emphasizes that there can never be lasting peace in the subcontinent without eliminating a scourge like Pakistan. As long as this state exists, it will continue to tighten nooses around the necks of the innocent and the smell of gunpowder will continue to spread from Kabul to Kashmir. New generations in this region will continue to be taught hatred, extremism and terrorism. It is time for the world to recognize state of Pakistan— the creator of terrorists—as a terrorist entity and treat it accordingly.
If Pakistan continues to be tolerated then in the coming years very existence of this state may lead to the ruin of the entire world. The control of nuclear weapons by a fanatical military establishment is a ticking time bomb—not only for the region but for global security.
We assure India that if it makes the final decision to eliminate terrorist state of Pakistan, Baloch Liberation Army, along with the entire nation is ready to attack from western border. We will not only welcome this decision but will become its practical and military arm. We are ready to surround Pakistan from both eastern and western fronts and are eager to drown this menace in its own blood.
If the world, especially states of the subcontinent, do not seize this opportunity, Baloch nation will continue its struggle for liberation on its own. Sooner or later we will destroy this occupying terrorist state and liberate our motherland. However, the longer this process is delayed, the more bloodshed, terrorism and instability the world will have to endure.
BLA is the guarantee of an independent, peaceful and progressive Balochistan. We can be the guarantor of the end of terrorism, regional balance and world peace—if the historical status and steadfast resistance of the Baloch are recognized and Baloch are given the status they deserve.
