The so-called Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), better known as Fitna al-Hindustan, is not a freedom movement. It is a bloodthirsty terrorist group that targets not just one ethnicity, but every community in Pakistan, from Baloch to Pashtun, Punjabi to Sindhi, Saraiki to Muhajir.
This outfit kills Baloch citizens, branding them “traitors” for opposing its violence. It abducts Pashtun officials, burns their homes, and destroys their livelihoods. Punjabis are dragged off buses, identified by their ID cards, and executed in cold blood. And now, even Muhajir communities are being targeted in this widening campaign of hate and chaos.
Yet, disturbing silence surrounds this madness. Ethno-political leaders like Akhtar Mengal and Mahmood Achakzai remain quiet. Even urban voices, once quick to cry out for human rights, have gone mute, including parties like MQM, long seen as defenders of Muhajir interests.
Instead, we keep hearing the same tired narratives:
“Balochistan is deprived.”
“The missing persons issue is real.”
“These are just a few helpless women protesting.”
But who will say who’s making Balochistan bleed?
The killers are known. Their bullets are real, and their allies wear the mask of victimhood, hiding behind protests, distorting the truth, and feeding lies to the world.
Let’s ask the hard question: Does our silence mean we’ve accepted this terrorism? Is condemnation after every killing enough, or is it time to act?
Pakistanis, it’s time to wake up. This group represents no nation, no people, only terror, blood, and the hunger for dollars. When sons from every province are being murdered, this is no longer Balochistan’s problem. It’s Pakistan’s problem.
Let’s stand united, above ethnicity, language, and party lines, against those who kill in the name of liberation, and expose those who enable them in silence.
