London, UK (ANI) January 15, 2021 Armed struggle in Balochistan inspired by Pakistan’s decades-old colonial rule, says activist. A Baloch political activist and writer has said that the contemporary armed and political struggle in Balochistan is strongly inspired by the consequences of 70 years of Pakistan’s indirect and direct colonial rule. Qambar Malik Baloch, Information Secretary of UK-based Baloch Human Rights Council said the contemporary armed and political resistance in Balochistan is different from the earlier ones in many ways. Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province in terms of land area, which has been struggling with decades’ long political and armed struggle launched by the indigenous people. The Baloch call Pakistan an occupier and blamed it for looting its natural resources and carrying out atrocities on the local people. Qambar Baloch, who is now living in exile in the UK said that Balochistan regularly tops the list of the places with the worst human rights cases in the region mainly due to the reign of terror the state has unleashed in the region. Balochistan is facing the worst human rights crisis with rising cases of enforced disappearances, tortures and killings.
