KARACHI, May 14: In a bold move, prominent Baloch representative Mir Yar Baloch has declared Balochistan’s independence from Pakistan, citing decades of state oppression, military violence, and human rights violations.
Posting on X , Mir Yar stated that the people of Balochistan have given their “national verdict” and urged the global community to stop remaining silent.
Baloch people across Pakistan-occupied Balochistan are up on streets and this is their national verdict that Balochistan Is Not Pakistan,” he wrote.
In a pointed message to India, he urged Indian media, YouTubers, and intellectuals not to refer to Balochs as “Pakistan’s own people,” asserting, we are not Pakistani, we are Balochistani.
Mir Yar Baloch extended full support to India’s stance on Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). He called on the international community to press Pakistan to vacate the region, referencing the 1971 war and warning of potential military consequences.
He further called on the global community to recognize Balochistan’s independence and reject Pakistan’s historical narrative, which he claimed involved the forced annexation of Balochistan in 1948 with the help of foreign powers.
