“Their sacrifice kept the flame of freedom burning. Their flowing blood renews the vow that the Baloch national movement has reached a stage where the fear of death is insignificant compared to the love for the motherland.
The BLA reaffirms its commitment that the blood of the martyrs will not go in vain, and their unfinished mission will be led to its logical conclusion: the complete independence of Balochistan and the final withdrawal of the occupying enemy. The sacrifices of these great Baloch sons will remain the crown jewel of Baloch history and a beacon of light for future generations,” said the BLA spokesperson. (NVI)
