Baloch Liberation Army: There was a conflict between the Government of Pakistan and the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) over the alleged victory day celebrations in Quetta. The ceremony organized under the patronage of the Pakistani Army was being led by the so -called MPA Ali help Jattak. Even before the ceremony started, there was a grenade attack on Munir Mangal Road, in which one agent was killed and 12 others were injured.
The attack was not just a security lapse, but a symbolic performance of the Baloch movement. BLA has made it clear that as long as the alleged occupation of Balochistan will continue, such ceremonies will be derogatory and unacceptable for him. Apart from this, a Pakistani army outpost located on MCC cross of Mastung was also grenked by the Baloch Liberation Army fighters. 4 Pakistani soldiers were injured in this attack. This outpost had become a habitat for Baloch citizens, where women and the elderly were not being spared.

BLA, calling this attack a retaliation, has clarified that playing with the identity and security of the Baloch people will no longer be tolerated. Baloch Liberation Army spokesman Jiyand Baloch said in a statement that the world is now seeing that no place in Balochistan is safe for the Pakistani army. The support of Baloch public is constantly making us strong. This statement is a big indication for the Government of Pakistan and the global community that the Baloch movement is no longer the name of a separatist organization, but it has become a public support movement.
Baloch Liberation Army claims
The Baloch Liberation Army has claimed that they are getting direct support from the public, there is a danger bell for Pakistani rule. It is clear from this that the policy of terror and forced control in Balochistan is no longer working. The Pakistani government has tightened security in the entire quetta, calling the attacks a terrorist incident. Efforts are being made to close the city through containers and blockade, but the local people say that this has made the situation more tense. It is repeatedly said in government statements that the Baloch movement has the support of ‘external powers’, but the ground truth is that the roots of this movement are in local pain and oppression of years.
