Quetta, August 26, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) chief Allah Nazar Baloch has reiterated that his organisation’s objective is the creation of a sovereign and independent Balochistan, ruling out political concessions as a solution to the long-running conflict with Pakistan.
In an interview with The Sunday Guardian, cited by The Balochistan Post, Baloch described Pakistan’s Constitution as a “dead horse”, arguing that it had failed to protect itself from the military, judiciary, Parliament and executive.
Asked whether negotiations could take place if Pakistan offered political autonomy, a larger share of resource revenues, an end to enforced disappearances and internationally supervised guarantees, Baloch said talks would be possible only in the presence of international powers.
He said such negotiations could also provide a safe mechanism for the Pakistani military to withdraw from Balochistan.
“The Baloch do not accept any concessions. The objective of the Baloch nation is a sovereign and independent Balochistan. Now independence is the only acceptable solution,” he said.
Baloch accused the Pakistani military of using warplanes against people in Balochistan and cited alleged bombing incidents in Gidar, Surab, Mehi, Mashkay and Wahli. He claimed that restrictions on independent media had prevented such incidents from receiving adequate coverage.
On enforced disappearances and alleged extrajudicial killings, he said a new generation was joining the independence movement, particularly as educated Baloch youth were being targeted.
Baloch also called on the United Nations to intervene and designate Balochistan an international conflict zone, alleging that Pakistan had failed to comply with international law.
He said Baloch fighters had gained experience through their conflict with Pakistani forces and identified the region’s geography and support from local residents as advantages for the movement.
“Every war is fought for political objectives. The Baloch freedom movement is ongoing, and its main and sole objective is our freedom,” he said.
Baloch rejected allegations that India was supporting the Baloch armed movement, calling them “fake propaganda” by the Pakistani establishment. At the same time, he expressed hope that India would extend political, diplomatic and moral support to the Baloch movement.
He urged New Delhi to raise the Baloch cause at international forums, including the United Nations, describing the movement as “not merely an armed insurgency, but an indigenous national liberation struggle”.
