Pakistani activist says people in Balochistan suppressed by military, terror groups
Balochistan, Pakistan: An activist in Pakistan's Balochistan region has said military and terror groups are suppressing locals in the region.
He made the remarks amid deadly clashes between Pakistan security forces and Baloch guerilla fighters in the region.
Munir Mengal, a Baloch political activist who has been living in exile, was quoted as saying by ANI Pakistan is losing the faith of the Baloch people and the resistance is on the rise.
"There is a military rule and the other rule is the rule of terrorist organizations, who are the assets of the Pakistani state. Pakistan state is using those terrorist organizations to eliminate the Baloch nationalists with an aim to deeply penetrate Balochistan," said Munir, who is also the President of Baloch Voice Association.
No organization - be it the judiciary or police - are irrelevant with respect to the abuse of rights inside Balochistan," he added.
Munir was quoted as saying by ANI that people in Balochistan have no rights and there is intense poverty in the region despite it having rich mineral reserves.
He said the people inside Balochistan are living under martial law where the military do whatever they want to do.
"They are abusing the rights of the people, they are disappearing the people, they are extra-judicial killing the people with impunity and this has been the strategic design to rule on and dominate the people inside Balochistan," the activist said.
