TUMP: The banned militant outfit Baloch Nationalist Army (BNA), operating under an Indian proxy named Fitna al Hindustan, has once again claimed responsibility for so-called attacks on security forces in the Tump district of Balochistan. However, official sources and on-ground verification suggest that these claims are entirely fabricated and meant to mislead foreign backers and secure continued financial support.
The Claim:
The BNA issued a statement claiming to have launched multiple attacks on Pakistani security personnel in different parts of Tump district of Balochistan.
The Facts:
In response to the claims, the Burak Digital Fact Check wing double-checked the claim and found it false. No independent or official confirmation supports any such attacks taking place. Similarly, local sources and security officials confirmed that there were no casualties, injuries, or confrontations with BNA in the area during the time mentioned.
The group has a history of making exaggerated or false claims to boost its relevance in foreign circles and justify funding.
What happened?
One mobile tower was set on fire in the Mirabad area of Tump. This act of arson appears to be an attempt by the terrorists to disrupt communication services and deprive locals of modern facilities, further isolating the region.
The Intent Behind the Misinformation:
The security and political analysts believe the BNA and other Indian proxies, such as BLA, BLF, BRA, mostly fabricated claims serve a dual purpose that includes:
rely on external financing, often linked to diaspora and foreign sponsors. There are two key funding streams: one is general support, and the other is performance-based, tied to high-profile or complex attacks. By exaggerating numbers, these groups create the illusion of momentum and justify continued funding from sponsors, particularly those who are hostile to Pakistan and sympathetic to separatist causes.
- Appease foreign handlers: These groups rely on foreign funding, particularly India, and are tied to attacks. They claimed fake attacks to justify continued funding from sponsors.
- Suppress local development and maintain control through fear and forced backwardness.
Conclusion:
The BNA’s latest statements regarding attacks on security forces are unsubstantiated and false. The only verified incident was the burning of a mobile tower, an act that targeted civilians, not security forces.
