I have been following the situation in Balochistan for years, but today, the crisis has reached a catastrophic level. What we are witnessing is not just political dissatisfaction or social grievances, it is a deliberate, well-orchestrated campaign to destabilize the region. There is no longer any room for doubt or confusion.
The foreign intelligence agencies, particularly India’s RAW and Israel’s Mossad, are actively involved in creating unrest in Balochistan; their fingerprints are all over the coordinated efforts to undermine the state, divide the people, and inflame ethnic sentiments.
This is not speculation; it is a bitter reality we must confront.
The Indian involvement, in particular, is glaring and persistent, their media, their officials, and even their so-called “analysts” have been openly supportive of the chaos in Balochistan.
They glorify separatist figures, exaggerate human rights claims without verification, and present a false narrative to the international community.
This is not journalism it is psychological warfare. It is a campaign designed to build international pressure on Pakistan, to damage our credibility, and to create the illusion that Balochistan is an oppressed colony rather than an integral part of the federation.
In such a scenario, the bigger question, at this point, is not whether the foreign hands are involved they clearly are. The bigger question is how we, as a state, respond to this multi-front attack.
In my opinion, it is time for the state to take a firm, unapologetic, and decisive stand against what I call Fitna al-Hindustan. We cannot afford to deal with this subversion using the language of compromise and appeasement.
We must make it very clear that our sovereignty is non-negotiable. There must be zero tolerance for those who seek to rip the country apart whether they are operating from abroad or being used as pawns within.
Now, let us be honest. We must also ask: What exactly are the demands of those who claim to speak for Balochistan’s “rights”? Is it the demand for better hospitals? For more schools? For access to clean water? Is it the call to build more districts for administrative efficiency? To get a fair share of the province’s mineral wealth?
If these are the demands, then let it be known—they are not only reasonable, they are already being addressed. The state has poured billions into infrastructure, expanded district-level governance, and introduced reforms to ensure resource-sharing.
So, if these genuine development issues are already being worked on and they are then what exactly are these violent groups fighting for? The truth is, they are not fighting for roads or schools or justice. They are fighting for separation. That is not a political stance that is rebellion, that is a treason.
I often wonder, what kind of freedom are they talking about? A freedom that comes with the help of foreign agencies? A freedom that relies on propaganda instead of people’s support? A freedom that is bought with bloodshed and bombings? If they truly believed in democracy, in representation, in justice, they would contest elections.
They would speak in assemblies. They would bring their concerns through constitutional means, but no, they reject that path because their aim is not reform, it is rupture.
Some argue that harsh security measures only push the youth away. That may be true in isolated cases, but it is not the whole picture. The majority of Baloch people are not with the insurgents. They are not burning flags, they are building futures. They are joining universities, the civil services, the army, and the tech sector.
They are not shouting separatist slogans; they are asking for Wi-Fi and clean water. These are the voices we must listen to, amplify, and empower, and that can only happen when the state takes out the few who are armed with guns and foreign funding, and stands beside the many who are armed with dreams and determination.
I’m not denying that mistakes have been made in the past. The history of Balochistan is not without grievances. The way forward is not to indulge armed groups in the name of dialogue.
The way forward is to isolate them, expose their backers, and provide security and opportunity to the ordinary people of Balochistan. We must draw a firm line between dissent and destruction.
I feel no hesitation in saying that the enemies of Pakistan have failed in Kashmir, and now they are trying to compensate for that failure by setting fire to Balochistan, but they must know that this fire will not spread, because this land has already produced sons and daughters who are loyal, capable, and proud to be Pakistani. I have seen young Baloch engineers launching startups.
I have seen Baloch students topping civil service exams. I have seen Baloch farmers embrace modern agriculture. This is the real Balochistan not the one shown by Indian anchors or fake think tanks.

I say this: If you truly care for Balochistan, then come forward with real demands, real dialogue, and real loyalty. If you truly want development, then work with the government, not against the state, and if your only agenda is to break away, then know this: the people of Pakistan will never allow it. Balochistan is not just a piece of land; it is our pride, our strength, and our shared destiny.
