ISLAMABAD: Amid growing concerns over hybrid warfare tactics targeting Pakistan, security analysts have raised serious questions about the role of Mahrang Baloch, a self-styled human rights activist allegedly advancing narratives aligned with Indian-funded separatist agendas.
According to details, Mahrang Baloch, also known as Mahrang Ghaffar, who has been vocal about enforced disappearances and alleged human rights abuses in Balochistan.
While she presents herself as a peaceful campaigner, intelligence sources and political observers argue that her rhetoric often mirrors the language used by Indian-funded banned terrorist group like the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA).
Mahrang and others like her have drawn significant attention from international rights organizations. However, officials argue that their consistent silence on BLA’s terror attacks and open hostility towards the state reveals a selective and politicized approach to human rights.
Ground realities in Balochistan are shifting. With renewed development projects, improved security, and infrastructure investments, many locals are reportedly rejecting separatist ideology in favor of peace and economic opportunity.
While dissent is a healthy part of democracy, officials caution that activism must not be weaponized to destabilize nations. Voices that appear to advocate for rights but indirectly aid hostile agendas, they argue, must be scrutinized carefully.
