QUETTA: India-based YouTube channel has released a propaganda video glorifying the recent terrorist attack on the Jaffar Express, an assault claimed by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), a proscribed terrorist organization known for its anti-state activities in the country.
The BLA, which is widely acknowledged to be a RAW-funded proxy group operating in Balochistan, has long been involved in a series of deadly operations, including bombings, targeted killings, abduction of civilians and law enforcement personnel, and attacks on infrastructure. However, this YouTube channel is believed to be RAW-funded.
In this regard, over the years, BLA operatives have targeted scholars, public servants, and members of security forces, leading to widespread condemnation from both domestic and international quarters.
There are several security analysts who view this latest video as part of a larger hybrid warfare strategy allegedly being pursued through digital platforms to spread misinformation, glorify terrorism, and fuel separatist sentiments.
The government is also initiating contact with Indian authorities through diplomatic channels to raise the issue of hostile online propaganda being disseminated from Indian soil.
