QUETTA: Security officials have dismissed a recent claim by the Baloch Republican Army (BRA) known as Fitna al-Hindustan of a successful attack on security forces as “complete lie and fabricated propaganda.”
The Fitna al-Hindustan BRA had alleged it attacked a convoy in the Kachhi area, killing five personnel. However, officials stated that the videos circulated on social media to support this claim are fabricated, using old and edited footage from as far back as 2020.
They specifically identified an account named “Bahot Baloch” as a source of this disinformation, accusing it of repeatedly repackaging old content with new, false narratives.
Officials suggested that terrorist groups, defeated in ground operations, are now creating digital “performances” to mislead the public and secure continued funding from foreign handlers. They asserted that such false claims are backed by foreign masters aiming to create chaos in Pakistan.
According to a statement from security sources, a propaganda network linked to the group “Fitna-ul-Hindustan” and its account “Bahot” have spread false claims about a military operation in the Mangchar area. Officials firmly stated that “no such incident has taken place in Mangchar.”
The statement emphasized that security forces are fully prepared and dedicated to protecting the lives and property of citizens in the region. It characterized the false reports as a tactic, suggesting that after suffering recent losses, the group has resorted to “lies and rumor-making” to please its foreign handlers.
The claims of violence against local residents, reported BLF media wing Zarambash, were dismissed as a “complete lie.” The statement concluded by affirming that the Baloch people and state institutions stand united in rejecting this false narrative.
