The so-called “operation” by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) in Zehri was nothing more than an act of hooliganism disguised as a strategic military campaign. Their recent propaganda video aims to paint a picture of an organized, well-trained force conducting sophisticated operations. However, the reality is far from their exaggerated claims.
BLA and similar terrorist factions have long relied on misinformation and staged theatrics to create an illusion of power. This particular incident in Zehri was no different. Instead of any calculated military engagement, they stormed a government facility operated by loyal Baloch citizens, vandalized records, and fled.
Their only objective was to create chaos and generate content for their propaganda machinery, hoping to mislead both local populations and their foreign sponsors.
Unlike what their media arms, such as Hakkal and Bahot, portray, these groups lack both the manpower and tactical expertise to challenge Pakistan’s security forces in direct combat. Their reliance on fabricated narratives and false claims exposes their desperation.
The exaggerated accounts of special units like STOS, Fateh Squad, and intelligence wings like ‘ZIRAB’ are mere buzzwords used to impress external supporters rather than having any real operational significance.
Pakistan’s armed forces, on the other hand, have repeatedly demonstrated their resilience in countering insurgencies. Their commitment to peace in Balochistan is evident through the countless development projects, security measures, and integration efforts aimed at bringing prosperity to the region.
Unlike these militant groups that thrive on violence and destruction, Pakistan is actively working towards stability and progress, engaging with Baloch communities to build a future where development replaces disorder.
BLA’s actions serve as a reminder that such groups are not fighting for the people of Balochistan but against them. Their so-called “freedom fighters” target schools, hospitals, and government institutions places meant for public welfare. Their propaganda is not about Baloch rights but about justifying their criminal activities to sustain external funding.
Pakistan’s security forces, in contrast, are not just countering these threats militarily but also working towards addressing socio-economic issues in the region. The vision is clear: a peaceful, prosperous Balochistan integrated into the national framework, benefiting from Pakistan’s growth and development.
The people of Balochistan deserve progress, not anarchy. They deserve real representation, not armed militants pretending to be saviors. The time has come for these propaganda narratives to be dismantled and for the truth to be amplified: Balochistan is an integral part of Pakistan, and its future lies with unity, not division.
