Neighboring country Pakistan is on the verge of disintegration again.
It is feared that like in 1971, Pakistan may be torn into two and become a separate country. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), which is fighting for independence in Pakistan’s western province of Balochistan, has attacked military positions and claimed to have captured the towns of Mach and Bolan.
BLA has claimed that 45 Pakistani Army soldiers have been killed in the attacks in Mach city, while 10 people have been killed in Pir Gab. However, Pakistan has denied the killing of any soldier.
A report in The Balochistan Post said that the Baloch Liberation Army has captured Mach city and its surrounding areas under ‘Operation Dara-e-Bolan’.
This massive operation involves elite units of BLA like Majeed Brigade, Fateh Squad and Special Tactical Operation Squad (STOS).
In a media statement, BLA spokesperson Ziand Baloch said STOS also captured all entry and exit points around the area, using land mine explosives to stop Pakistani forces.
Additionally, to closely monitor the activities of the security forces, the Fateh Squad has taken control of strategic locations in Mach city, including the police station and railway station.
The report said that BLA fighters have carried out several rocket attacks on Pak Army positions. On the other hand, four Baloch activists have also died during ‘Operation Dara-e-Bolan’.
All four were suicide bombers of BLA’s Majeed Brigade. During this time, BLA has appealed to the Baloch youth to join the organization.
Let us tell you that in 1971, Mukti Sangharsh Vahini had launched similar attacks against the Pakistan Army in East Pakistan. India supported Mukti Sangharsh Vahini in that, after which Pakistan was divided into two and Bangladesh became independent as a new country.
