BLA is trying to tarnish the image of Balochs. The low moral ground on which they are operating suggest that BLA and other bandits organizations like BRA, BLUF, BNA etc are morally too petite and small to talk of any thing of greater virtue. BLA which represent Gizzini the sub tribe of Marri, does not fit into the affairs of its own MARRI tribe, what to talk of the whole Baloch people. They are a much smaller sub tribe as compaired to Bajrani and Pawadi etc. So few hundred bandits cannot be allowed to handle the affairs of those it does not represent. BLA thinks that the educated and virtuous people will follow few foreign funded agents and support the leaders of few hundred shepherds. What a constipated thinking.
Killing innocent labor is the true reflection of the morality and virtue of this thug organization.
Shabbir@ Please have mercy on Balochistan's people. We want development. let us develop.
@Shabbir Baloch:
killing labourers and non-combatants is regretable act.Raw and Khad is actively inovoled in this genodie.BLA and other Baloch millitants have no courage to fight armed force or even armed groups they can only kill unarmed labourers and be proud of it, this is all abaout baloch pride.The perpetrators of genocide carried out in Balochistan are being protected and harboured by England.
insane, unjust, brutal.
Why are they killing poor labourers; they are one of the most disenfranchised segment of the population
Awesome news. Good luck with the next operation. Balochistan Zindabad. Drive out the occupying forces or send them back just the way these guys have been.
