Hari Om | 8 years ago | Reply Excesses committed by Punjab dominated security forces targeting Balochi origin people such as extra judicial executions, sponsoring death squad militia’s, enforced disappearances, torture, custodial rape, and the like will inevitably be resisted by the freedom yearning people of Balochistan. The 700,000 Punjabi dominated occupation forces will not succeed in dousing the fire of liberation in Baluchistan as was the case in the erstwhile East Pakistan which forms todays Bangladesh. India must provide fullest diplomatic and moral support to the Baloch freedom struggle. Indian Consulates in Iran and Afghanistan must provide all necessary help to Baluch freedom fighters.
