Balochistan’s prime minister-in-exile, Professor Naela Quadri Baloch, criticized neighboring Pakistan on Friday, saying it is “a killer of Muslims and not a savior of Muslims.” Baloch criticized the Pakistani government for committing atrocities against the people of Balochistan, Gilgit Baltistan, Sindh and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Speaking in an exclusive interview with ANI, Baloch called on the Indian government, as well as other countries around the world, to keep pressing Islamabad to stop “sponsoring terrorism, extremism and not violating human rights.” . India has deep-rooted relations with the Baloch people, he said, adding that he hopes the Indian government will help the people in this crisis. “One is the Indian government and the other is the Indian people. The people of India and the people of Balochistan love each other. They are together. It is not for today, it is for thousands of years. Our love is very old, very deep-seated and will continue,” he stressed.
‘The condition of controlling or stopping terrorism as the basis for any dialogue from India means that this dialogue will never happen because if they stop terrorism it’s like they stop breathing. So it will never happen,” Balochistan’s prime minister-in-exile Professor Naela Quadri Baloch said.
The Prime Minister-in-exile of Balochistan highlighted the ongoing violence and genocide of the people of Balochistan. “What we as Baloch want to add here is that any international body, any neighboring country or any world power like India if they talk to Pakistan, the ongoing Balochistan genocide should be one of the bullet points. Stop the genocide, stop the military operation in Balochistan,’ he stressed. Citing political turmoil and clashes with the army in the neighboring country, Baloch, who is visiting India and in exile in Canada, expressed concern over Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. He expressed concern that amid the series of civil unrest and political turmoil in Pakistan, nuclear weapons could be “in the wrong hands” and endanger global security.
‘The disarmament of nuclear weapons of mass destruction should be one of the conditions because a country that is selling its airports, that is selling its assets, is actually in default and leaving around 200 warheads of nuclear weapons of mass destruction is totally It’s irresponsible and it’s completely ignoring some kind of trauma or some kind of accident that can happen at any time,” Baloch said. “So, we’re not saying these weapons can go into the hands of terrorists because they’re actually in the hands of terrorists.” he said. he continued to add.
Pakistan believes it can ‘manipulate the world’: Baloch
The exiled leader reiterated that Muslims in Pakistan have been suffering due to the atmosphere of uncertainty and division between communities, and that there is no democracy like India. “When they (Pakistan) are trying to be champions of Islam, they think the world is blind or they can manipulate the world,” Baloch said.
“If there is any entity and the most anti-Muslim entity on this earth, it is Pakistan. They are the people who divided the Muslims of India. They are the people who made the Muslims of India a vulnerable community because they started the hatred because someone who it’s Muslim, Hindu or Sikh, it’s the Indians. But who created that? It’s basically the ideology of Pakistan,” he added.
Baloch also condemned China for its Belt and Road initiative, calling it an “expansionist policy” and attempts to leave ever-growing footprints in Balochistan. Even the African people, Canada and Europe are victims of China’s expansionist agenda, Baloch noted. ‘We can call them new colonial policies or new imperialist policies. Actually, we don’t have any negative sentiments against the Chinese people. The people of China are victims of their state and government. The kind of policies that they are implementing not only in Balochistan but all over the world,” he stated. The latter also criticized the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) saying that it starts in Xinjiang and ends in Balochistan. Both places are suffering from genocide.
“Any development that starts by killing, kidnapping, torturing or displacing people from their ancestral lands cannot be a development project. When people are not part of that planning and when people are not beneficiaries of that development, it is non-development, it is exploitation. And China and Pakistan are partners in our genocide that we really don’t like and protest against it,” Baloch said.
