Pakistan engaged in tsunami of rights violations: Baloch leader

Brahumdagh Bugti, president of the Baloch Republican Party and the grandson of Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti who was killed in an encounter with the Pakistani army 10 years ago, also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for recently raising concern over the situation in Balochistan. 

“Pak forces are engaged in tsunami of human rights violations. We do not want to live with Pakistan anymore,” said Switzerland-based Bugti as he demanded a referendum of Baloch people under the supervision of the United Nations. 

Bugti said Modi’s recent remarks during his Independence Day is the “most powerful statement” in the last seven decades. “It is for the first time that an Indian Prime Minister has spoken. We believe that India should have taken this step a long time ago,” he said, adding that he is convinced about Balochistan freedom. 

“I am thoroughly indebted to Prime Minister Modi. I thank Prime Minister Modi for speaking raising the voice of Baloch people in his Independence Day address,” he said and alleged that Pakistani crime against people are a shocker to the global community.
