Bloody orgy of BLA in Balochistan: More than 30 Pakistani soldiers killed in Gwadar, created outcry
Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has once again demonstrated its power in the troubled province of Balochistan in Pakistan. The news of the killing of more than 30 Pakistani soldiers in this major attack in Gwadar has created panic in the security establishments. This is considered to be the biggest and deadliest attack on security forces in the last few months. This attack in Gwadar, which is the center of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), has once again raised serious questions on Pakistan’s security policies and the deteriorating situation in Balochistan. BLA’s ‘operation’ in Gwadar and the number of casualties According to the information received, Baloch Liberation Army fighters simultaneously targeted several military posts in Gwadar. This attack was so well planned that the Pakistani Army did not even get a chance to recover. According to the claims of local sources and Baloch organizations, more than 30 soldiers have been killed in this encounter and many others are said to be seriously injured. BLA has taken responsibility for this attack and called it a part of the fight for ‘freedom of Baloch land’. After the attack, there is a curfew like situation in the entire area and the army has intensified the siege. Questions on security in CPEC stronghold Gwadar area is most important for Pakistan and China from strategic and economic point of view. In such a situation, such a big attack on security forces here has shattered Pakistan’s image of being ‘invincible’. Analysts believe that the BLA is changing its strategy and is now putting pressure on the government by directly targeting military targets. The ongoing insurgency in Balochistan has not only paralyzed the local administration, but also poses a major threat to China’s investments and the security of foreign nationals working there. What is the real root of the ongoing tension in Balochistan? Separatists in Balochistan have long been protesting against the exploitation of Baloch resources and alleged atrocities by the army. BLA claims that the Pakistan government is looting the natural wealth of Balochistan and sending it to other provinces. After this attack, the Pakistan government has announced the deployment of heavy military forces, but the question arises whether this rebellion can be suppressed only by military action? Baloch leaders believe that such bloody conflicts are not going to stop unless there is political dialogue and their rights are respected. This attack in Gwadar is a big warning for Pakistan that the fire of Balochistan has now flared up even more.
