The Baloch Republican Party central spokesperson Sher Mohammad Bugti has said that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's support to their cause has made the people of Baluchistan extremely happy. He said that the entire Baloch population was grateful to Modi and the Indian media for supporting their struggle for freedom from Pakistan.
He said "PM Modi has raised his voice for us. Indian media has also raised its voice for us. We are indebted to them".
Attacking the Pakistani army for the "genocide" in Balochistan, Bugti said “ What is going to happen to Pakistani army in Balochistan will be worse than what happened to them in Bangladesh in 1971. If they leave us on their own, it would be good for them. Otherwise we will kick them out soon”.
He said that Baluchistan was never a part of Pakistan and there was no question of staying with them.
He criticized Pakistani media for demonising PM Modi for backing the Baloch struggle.
Bugti said "Pakistan media talks about everything except genocide in Baluchistan. Tens of thousands of our people have been massacred by Pakistani army in Baluchistan. Our situation is so bad. But no one talks about it”.
Interestingly the PM has also approved All India Radio’s broadcasting in Balochi language on Wednesday. According to a report in PTI the All India Radio (AIR) has plans of improving its news service in Balochi language.
This move follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments on 15 August where he flagged concerns about the condition of people in Balochistan in Pakistan. AIR, which already has a service in Balochi since 1974, will now augment the news bulletin component with new programs in the language in a bid to woo Baloch hearts.
"The All India Radio (AIR) already has a service in Balochi language which airs various programmes and also news. But now an enhanced news bulletin is being planned in Balochi language” said a senior AIR official.
