RAWALPINDI, JUNE 3 (DNA):Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry has made it unequivocally clear that Balochistan is a part of Pakistan and can never be separated from it.
Speaking during a special conversation with teachers at the Hilal Talks event, attended by over 1,950 senior faculty members from across Pakistan, the DG ISPR made a series of strong remarks exposing Indian involvement in fuelling unrest in Balochistan.
DG ISPR reiterated that India provides full financial support to Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), branding the group as “Fitna-e-Hindustan”.
He revealed that the leadership of the BLA is currently based in India. “Fitna al-Khawarij says, ‘India should help us’,” he noted, referring to statements by militants seeking Indian assistance. “These are India’s bought-and-paid-for slaves,” the military spokesperson added.
He said India and its proxies pose a grave threat not only to Pakistan but to the stability of the entire region.
The DG ISPR reaffirmed Pakistan’s stance that Balochistan is an integral part of the country and can never be separated. “Balochistan is deeply embedded in Pakistan’s economy and society,” he said, expressing confidence that the province would one day become “Pakistan’s richest province.”
He further remarked that he people come from the armed forces, and the armed forces come from the people and that this eternal bond of love will always remain.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif emphasised the need to win back those influenced by extremist elements in Balochistan, calling their reintegration vital for national cohesion and future progress.
Addressing a grand Jirga in Quetta, the premier remarked that grievances should be resolved by sitting together as brothers.
Terrorists were against the progress of Pakistan, he said and urged the people to foil their evil intentions.
Karachi-Quetta highway had become a “bloody highway”, he said, adding that funds were being issued for its construction.
The premier announced that 25% of the next PSDP development budget would be allocated to Balochistan. Laptops would be given to the students of the province, he said further.
He maintained that efforts should be made to bring the misguided individuals back into the national mainstream.
