His
group

In
the
year
2004
the
Balochistan
Liberation
Front
or
the
BLF
led
by
Dr
Allah
Nazar
Baloch
claimed
responsibility
for
attacks
on
Chinese
engineers
in
Gwadar.
Dr
Allah
Nazar
Baloch
a
gold
medalist
doctor
turned
guerilla
leader
leads
one
of
the
most
powerful
Baloch
resistance
groups
in
Balochistan
called
the
Balochistan
Liberation
Front
or
the
BLF.
The Baloch nationalism is a movement that claims that the Baloch people are an ethno-linguistic group mainly found in Pakistan , Iran and Afghanistan are a distinct nation.
The movement propagates the view that Muslims are not a nation and that ethnic loyalty must surpass religious loyalty, though this view has been challenged by both the 1971 independence of East Pakistan and the discrimination many Mohajirs have historically faced within Pakistan- source Wikipedia.
Dr Allah Nazar Baloch said the rogue ISI is crushing the Baloch freedom movement. In this exclusive interview with oneindia, Dr Nazar spells out in details various issues ranging from the attempts made by the Chinese to enter into Balochistan with the help of the Pakistanis and also the role that India could play in Balochistan.
Oneindia:
Does
Pakistan's
ISI
continue
to
indulge
in
the
oppression
of
the
Baloch
people?
Dr
Nazar:
No
doubt.
The
rogue
ISI
is
brutally
crushing
the
Baloch
freedom
movement
and
violating
international
laws
in
Balochistan.
Thousands
of
Baloch
have
been
killed
and
thousands
forcibly
disappeared.
Thousands of houses burned down in army operations. World human rights organizations barely pin point this issue and Balochistan doesn't even makes it in their lists.
On 14th February, 2015, Dr Sanaullah Baloch was asked to visit the army camp in Awaran for his missing son Saddam a police servant under their custody.
On 18th February Dr Sanaullah's mutilated dead body was found on roadside. Hundreds of villagers are under same army custody in camps. This is a simple example of ISI's tyranny. But the international community and media are criminally silent.
Oneindia: Recently Pakistani Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharrif urged provinces to implement decisions taken under the National Action Plan. What are your views on it?
Dr Nazar: Yes. The Taliban, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Lashkar e Tayyeba are the strategic assets of Pakistan. Pakistan's national action plan and military courts are formed against the Baloch. 152 cases from Balochistan have been sent to military courts so far. It is up to the world how they see it.
Oneindia: There are reports of growing Chinese power in Balochistan. Could you tell us more about it?
Dr Nazar: Obviously China's role in Balochistan is imperialistic. It is supporting Pakistan militarily and financially to crush the Baloch freedom movement. Now a huge Chinese army unit is present in Gwadar. Pakistan has allotted three thousand acre land to China in Gwadar. So Baloch nation considers China a partner of the occupier. Baloch nation will resist both.
Oneindia: Does Iran continue to work with Pakistan in Balochistan?
Dr
Nazar:
Iran
is
a
theocratic
state
like
Pakistan.
Both
are
leading
different
versions
of
Islam.
But
in
the
case
of
Baloch,
their
attitude
is
the
same.
Oneindia:
Whose
presence
do
you
find
more
threatening
in
Balochistan?
China
or
Iran?
Dr Nazar: China is present in Balochistan with a number of Chinese army personnel which are directly involved in Baloch genocide. It is a threat not only to Baloch but for the entire region as well as India. Now China is demanding new legislation from Pakistan. Pakistan is ready to give it all to China as part of dirty its game, constitutional protection.
This is not acceptable for Baloch. Let me clarify that China is also using Gwadar port as a naval base. So Gwadar is very near to the Strait of Hormuz. USA, India cannot imagine the subsequent drastic consequences.
Oneindia: How helpful has India been to the cause of the Baloch people?
Dr Nazar: India could be supportive but India and rest of the world are blackmailed by Pakistan. So the Baloch is suffering terrorism and genocide and the world is calm. As a neighbouring country of Baloch it is a moral duty of India to support the Baloch.
Oneindia: Do you think the new government in India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi will do more for the people of Balochistan when compared to the previous government?
Dr Nazar: As the world's largest democracy India and the civilized world must realize the importance of a free Balochistan. India can never get the superiority of waters without a free Baloch state.
Oneindia:
Recent
reports
suggest
that
the
ISIS
is
making
a
foothold
in
several
parts
of
Pakistan.
Does
the
ISIS
pose
a
problem
in
Balochistan
as
well?
Dr
Nazar:
ISIS
is
present
in
Balochistan
in
the
name
of
Lashkar
e
Jhangvi,
Lashkar
e
Khurasan,
Lashkar
e
Tayyeba,
Ansar
ul
Islam.
All
these
extremist
religious
outfits
are
patronised
by
rogue
Pakistani
ISI.
These
elements
are
fostered
and
nurtured
to
counter
the
Baloch
movement
and
distract
the
focus
from
the
freedom
struggle.
But
the
Baloch
is
determined
to
defeat
these
extremists
with
the
ideology
of
nationalism.
Oneindia: How supportive has the international community been to the people of Balochistan?
Dr
Nazar:
International
community
is
not
playing
their
role.
But
the
international
community
cannot
ignore
the
Baloch
nation.
A
free
Balochistan
is
in
the
interest
of
the
whole
civilized
world.
Oneindia:
Will
a
Czechoslovakian
solution
help
your
cause?
Dr Nazar: Baloch want a free country whatever the solution be, be it like Czechoslovakian or Bangladesh. We are absolutely determined to face all the state brutalities and its henchmen whether those Jihadis or death squads.
