New Delhi, April 28 (NVI) Strongly condemning the Pahalgam terror attack, Baloch National Movement (BNM), an organisation struggling for liberation of Balochistan, has said Pakistan continues to “use proxy terrorism as a tool of foreign policy, undermining regional peace and stability” and must be held accountable.
BNM Chairman Naseem Baluch said targeting tourists in Pahalgam was “an act of sheer cowardice, aimed at spreading fear and disrupting harmony in the region”.
“We stand with the victims and the people of Kashmir. This attack must be condemned internationally, and Pakistan must be held accountable for its continued sponsorship of terror,” he said in a statement.
“What’s more telling is the timing. This massacre comes just after the Pakistani army chief Asim Munir invoked the outdated and divisive ‘Two-Nation Theory’, a mindset that has historically fueled extremism, hatred, and cross-border violence,” said Naseem Baluch.
“This is not a coincidence, but a pattern. Every time Pakistan raises the Kashmir issue rhetorically or symbolically, we see bloodshed on the ground,” said the BNM chief who lives in exile in Europe.
Refusing to accept Pakistan’s denials, he said, “The world has seen this before: Pakistani nationals caught or killed in Kashmir, and its fingerprints on cross-border terrorism from Iran to Afghanistan to Balochistan.”
He highlighted, “Pakistan’s military establishment continues to use proxy terrorism as a tool of foreign policy, undermining regional peace and stability.”
In another post on X, Naseem Baluch said the recent statement by Gen Asim Munir threatening to “crush ten generations of the Baloch nation” is not only a horrifying declaration of genocide but also a brutal reflection of the State’s deep-rooted colonial mindset and hatred towards the Baloch people.
“This isn’t just a threat, it’s a confession. A confession of the Pakistani military establishment’s failure to silence a nation that has resisted seven decades of occupation, exploitation, and repression.
“Such language, coming from the highest military office, exposes the true face of the Pakistani State.
“It confirms that the Baloch are not facing a counter-insurgency operation; they are facing genocidal campaign,” the BNM Chairman said.
He said the Pakistan Army is a force that “has abducted thousands of Baloch, dumped mutilated bodies, bombed villages and now dares to openly declare the destruction of future generations.
“Yet the history has shown that nations cannot be destroyed by threats. The Baloch national struggle is not built on fear, it is built on sacrifice, and the unwavering desire for freedom.
“If one generation is attacked, the next will rise stronger. No amount of brutality can erase a people’s will to exist with dignity and freedom.”
He said Pakistan Army Chief’s statement must be condemned by the international community as a clear incitement to genocide.
“Silence in the face of such open threats only empowers tyrants. The Baloch nation will remember this, and history will judge not just the perpetrators but also the bystanders,” he said. (NVI)
