Baloch representative Mir Yar Baloch has declared Balochistan independent from Pakistan, citing decades of violence, enforced disappearances, and human rights violations by the Pakistani state.
The announcement was made via social media platform X, where he described the move as the “national verdict” of the Baloch people.
Appeal to India and Global Community:
He further urged Indian media and intellectuals not to refer to the Baloch as “Pakistan’s own,” aligning his stance with India’s position on Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
He expressed full support for India’s call for Pakistan to vacate PoK, drawing parallels between Balochistan’s struggle and the Kashmiri cause.
Mir Yar also expressed strong support for India’s stance on Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), urging Pakistan to vacate the territory and warning of another potential military humiliation like the 1971 surrender in Dhaka.
Plans for a Transitional Government in the Republic of Balochistan
According to Mir Yar Baloch, preparations are underway to form a transitional government for the Republic of Balochistan. He also appealed to the United Nations to recognize the declaration and provide funding for basic state functions, including currency and passport issuance.
He said the new administration would include women’s representation and outlined plans for a formal state ceremony, including a national parade and invitations to friendly foreign governments.
He further revealed that the newly proposed state has already established symbols of sovereignty, such as a national flag, parliament, anthem, and emblem. The capital would remain Quetta, the largest city in the region.
From 1839 to today, Balochistan has suffered colonial invasion, division, and foreign occupation. First the British, now Pakistan and Iran. It’s time for India and the World powers Recognize Independent Balochistan. In a symbolic gesture of goodwill towards India, the Baloch leader announced a visa-on-arrival policy for Indian citizens.
