MAND: A protest rally in Mand, Balochabad, has led to a blockade of major highways, causing significant disruption for local residents, according to sources.
A security source reported that the rally was staged by agents of Fitna Al-hindustan, who declared three individuals currently in hiding as forcibly disappeared. The protestors’ subsequent blocking of highways has paralyzed daily life in the area, the source stated.
The blockade has prevented students from attending school, blocked patients from accessing medical treatment, and caused financial losses for local traders. A local vendor, who spoke anonymously for security reasons, told the Baloch Wire that the highway closures are immoral and illegal, and have resulted in shortages of essential food items like flour, sugar, and vegetables.
Meanwhile prominent Baloch activist Saleem Baloch has praised the Pakistan Army’s ongoing campaigns against militant groups, stating that these operations have significantly weakened the capacity of anti-state elements often referred to as “Fitna Al Hindustan.”.
In a recent podcast, Baloch emphasized that the people of Balochistan are united and stand firmly with the Pakistani military. He highlighted that the army is achieving notable successes through its intelligence-based operations, which have been crucial in restoring peace and stability to the region.
“The people of Balochistan are united and stand with the Pakistani army,” Baloch was quoted as saying, underscoring a sentiment of collective resolve. He added that the army’s efforts have been instrumental in countering external threats and promoting national unity.
