These attacks took place in Mastung, Kalat, Zamuran, Buleda and Quetta districts, BLA spokesman Jeeyand Baloch said in a statement.

Additionally, vehicles carrying minerals out of Balochistan were also destroyed by setting fire to them in Dalbandin and Noshki, he said.

Giving details, he said the BLA freedom fighters targeted occupying Pakistani army personnel using an IED in Talkh Kavi area of Mastung yesterday.

After the attack, occupying army convoy tried to advance in the area but it was ambushed by fighters, the spokesman said.

At least, 6 personnel of occupying Pakistani army, including Major Zaid, were eliminated on the spot and 3 were injured in the attacks, he said.

Freedom fighters also targeted occupying army personnel using an IED in the Ab Gul area of Mastung, as a result of which 2 occupying army personnel were eliminated and 4 were injured, Jeeyand Baloch said.

Baloch Liberation Army freedom fighters also inflicted heavy losses on occupying Pakistani army in the Kohak area of Kalat when occupying army tried to advance with the intention of aggression on July 22., he said.

Freedom fighters ambushed occupying army’s convoy, he said, adding three vehicles of the enemy army came under direct attack.

“The cowardly enemy personnel tried to escape but were surrounded and neutralized by fighters. In the attack, 13 occupying army personnel were eliminated on the spot while enemy personnel’s weapons were also seized by fighters,” he said.

A convoy arriving to support occupying army was targeted by another squad of BLA freedom fighters, causing further casualties and property losses to the enemy army, due to which occupying enemy army was forced to retreat, the spokesman said.

Baloch Liberation Army freedom fighters also targeted and neutralized Muawiya Jamaldini, a key operative of so-called ‘death squad’ formed by the occupying Pakistani army and its intelligence agencies, in Noshki last night when he was on his way to his home in Noshki.

“Muawiya Jamaldini, an agent of occupying army, was leading an armed gang in Noshki, which was involved in targeted killings of youth and elders in Noshki, violation of Baloch code and conduct of houses with the occupying army, forcibly disappearing youth and harassing the families of Baloch martyrs. The agent was involved in blackmailing women, land grabbing and extortion under the patronage of occupying army,” the spokesman said.

BLA’s intelligence wing, ZIRAB, was monitoring every movement of agent Muawiya Jamaldini and he punished for committing treason and atrocities against Baloch people, Jeeyand Baloch said..

ZIRAB is also monitoring other associates of the gang whose fate will soon be like Muawiya Jamaldini, he added.

Meanwhile, fighters continued to blockade the main highway in Dalbandin and conduct snap checking, he said.

Earlier, on July 22, Baloch Liberation Army freedom fighters targeted occupying Pakistani army personnel in Archanan area of Zamuran with a remote-controlled IED, in which 1 personnel was neutralized on the spot, he said.

On Thursday, Baloch Liberation Army freedom fighters targeted a vehicle which was part of an occupying Pakistani army convoy in a remote-controlled IED attack in Gelli area of Buleda, as a result of which 2 personnel of occupying army were eliminated and 3 were injured while their vehicle was completely destroyed, he said.

During the intervening night of July 23 & 24, BLA freedom fighters targeted an outpost of occupying Pakistani army in Akhtarabad, Quetta, by throwing a hand grenade, the spokesman said, adding it resulted in losses to the occupying army. (NVI)

Peshawar, July 23 (NVI) The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) today welcomed the defiance of Pakistan Army’s orders by dozens of policemen in Orakzai district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to fight the Islamist militia.

It said the suspension of 42 police officers for refusing to fight “has shown that the (Pakistani) military institutions (Army and FC) have failed miserably in the brutal war against the Mujahideen, which is why they are trying to impose their failure on other institutions.”

In a statement, TTP spokesman Muhammad Khorasani said the Pakistan Army uses the police in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as a “shield” on the one hand and at the same time, pins responsibility of its failure on them.

“The police’s refusal to fight the (Pakistan) army’s dollar war is a welcome development, which shows that after the public, the institutions have also started to realize that the ongoing war against the Mujahideen of Islam has neither worldly nor otherworldly benefits,” the spokesman said in a statement.

“If anyone benefits from it (the war), it is those select military officers and the military establishment who roam around in bulletproof vehicles, away from the flames of war,” he said.

He noted that the The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan has repeatedly warned the police, especially the lower class personnel, not to get involved in the ongoing war between the mujahideen and the military institutions.

“The police personnel should publicly withdraw from this war and arrange a halal livelihood for themselves and live their normal lives,” he said in a renewed message.

“It is a compassionate appeal to the Pakistani public to stop their children from being recruited in military institutions, because dozens of personnel are killed and injured every day in the fierce attacks of the Mujahideen of Islam, which the military institutions hide.

“So your children have no better future in these institutions. It is in their best interest to stay away from this war,” the TTP spokesman said. (NVI)

“During the resistance, 7 enemy commandos were eliminated and many were injured,” he said.

“In the fierce clashes, four freedom fighters — Commander Chairman Sufyan Kurd, Fidayee Rashid Buzdar, Sangat Nabeel Badini and Sangat Khalid Farooqi Muhammad Hassani — were martyred while fighting bravely,” the spokesman said.

“Baloch Liberation Army salutes its great martyrs who sacrificed their lives and set unforgettable examples of resistance in the face of enemy aggression.

“These sacrifices are clear evidence that the occupying state, despite all its technology, air power and military superiority, has failed to crush the Baloch nation’s struggle for liberation,” the spokesman said.

“BLA makes it clear that every aggression of the enemy will be responded to with greater intensity and wisdom than before. BLA freedom fighters will continue the mission of their martyred comrades and it is our unwavering determination to bring this struggle for Baloch national liberation to its logical conclusion,” Jeeyand Baloch said.

Post-blast condition of the vehicle which Major Kakar was driving in Quetta.

Quetta, July 20 (NVI) The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed to have killed 7 Pakistani military personnel, including a Major, and injured several others in attacks in three districts of Balochistan.

In the most brazen and high-voltage attack, the BLA fighters eliminated Major Anwar Kakar in Jabal-e-Noor area of Quetta yesterday.

BLA spokesman Jeeyand Baloch said Major Kakar was killed through the use of a remote-controlled improvised explosive device (IED).

The attack was an “intelligence-based operation” executed by the Special Tactical Operations Squad (STOS) of BLA, on the basis of information provided by its intelligence wing, ‘ZIRAB’, the spokesman said.

A CCTV visual showed a motorcycle, with two persons, approaching and moving close to the vehicle of the Major on a busy road and apparently pasting a magnetic bomb which explodes immediately after.

The officer was killed on the spot due to the blast on the driver’s side of the black SUV.

The attackers can be seen speeding away after causing the blast.

The BLA said Major Kakar had been involved in counterinsurgency operations and “information warfare” against the Baloch national movement.

‏Quetta, July 17 (NVI) Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) tonight said it killed 29 personnel of the occupying Pakistan Army in 2 separate attacks, including an ambush on a bus ferrying soldiers, in Balochistan.

In one major attack, the BLA’s special forces unit – Fateh Squad – targeted a bus carrying the occupying Pakistani army at the Nimrug Cross in Kalat, its spokesman Jeeyand Baloch said.

The commandos of BLA carried out this operation on the basis of information provided by BLA’s intelligence wing, ZIRAB, he said in a statement.

ZIRAB was constantly monitoring the said bus, which was transporting the occupying Pakistani army personnel from Karachi to Quetta, the spokesman said.

“In the attack, 27 occupation army personnel were killed on the spot, while several personnel were injured, including seriously,” he said.

In Balochistan, Pakistani military personnel often travel in civil dress along with civilians in public transport in an attempt to evade attacks from the Baloch freedom fighters who keep looking for soldiers to hunt them down.

The BLA spokesman said some Qawwali artists were also present in the bus when it was attacked.

“The said artists were not our target, but they were travelling with the occupation army personnel,” he said.

“In this regard, we have already made it clear that a safe distance should be maintained from the occupation army to avoid any kind of harm,” he added.

Meanwhile, separately, BLA operatives targeted a vehicle of the occupation Pakistani army using a remote-controlled IED in the Hazar Ganji area of Quetta.

As a result, two occupation army personnel were killed on the spot and 7 personnel were injured he said.

“Baloch Liberation Army, while accepting responsibility for these attacks, makes it clear that these operations are a continuation of our armed struggle against the occupation Pakistani army, which is ongoing for the liberation of Balochistan.

“We once again appeal to the Baloch people to maintain a safe distance from the occupation army, its centers and installations so that no unrelated person is harmed.

“We reiterate our pledge that as long as the occupation of our land continues, we will continue our resistance and will continue to hold the enemy accountable for its crimes at every point,” BLA spokesman said. (NVI)

Khyber bleeding, Pashtun suffering because of ‘anti-Islam’ Pakistan Army: TTP

Leaders of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) -- File Pic

Peshawar, July 15 (NVI) The ongoing bloodshed and genocide in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is because of the “anti-Islam” and “dollar-hungry” Pakistan Army which has been engaging in oppression against the Pashtun people to destroy their culture and faith, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has said, adding that it is out to counter the “terrorist” military.

It said that for almost two decades, the Pasthuns have been “begging for peace by placing the bodies of innocent children, women and the elderly in front of those cruel and oppressive Generals but their (Pashtuns’) desire for peace has not been fulfilled, nor has the flow of bodies stopped.”

The TTP issued this statement in the context of military-backed peace committees called ‘Awami Pasoon’ recently going to some areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, ostensibly for the purpose of restoration of peace and order in the region.

“We want to make it clear to our people that the unrest and genocide in this region are not due to the Mujahideen (or as the media calls them “terrorists”), but it is due to the dollar-hungry (Pakistan) army,” said TTP in a statement issued by its spokesman Muhammad Khorasani.

“The Mujahideen have taken up arms against the enemy who attacked their religion, faith, honor and dignity. The oppressed fighting against the oppressor and destroying his evil intentions is not terrorism, but holy jihad,” it said.

Describing the Pakistan Army and the State as “terrorists”, it said the military is “waging a mercenary war to fulfill the objectives of the enemy (non-Muslims) fighting against Muslims in this region”, a veiled reference to the US.

The TTP said the Pakistani military is fighting “for the goals which the master of this evil (Pakistani military) had itself come for, but had to flee after facing reverses.” This is apparent reference to what happened to the US in Afghanistan.

“Those goals are to destroy the culture of the Pashtuns (especially the tribes), to destroy the religious zeal and spirit of faith within this nation (population) because of which the West could not establish its outdated system, nor could it control the resources here,” the statement said.

“The whole world has fallen into the grip of this system and the Pakistani army had put all the country’s resources in the lap of this cunning enemy,” it said.

“Today, once again, the West is using Pakistan’s slave army to achieve its goals for its nefarious purposes, and is further trying to control our minerals through this dollar-eating army,” it said.

“Therefore, we appeal to our nation that we are one in terms of religion, faith, belief and ideology. This distinction between us that ‘a Mujahid is one who is dying for religion and not a nation’ is completely wrong.

“Rather, we are the sons of the same nation that has died for the religion of Islam to this day… Therefore, we all have to fight this enemy together. In this, the distinction between the common people and Mujahid will be nothing but destruction for all of us,” the TTP said.

It invited “the entire Pashtun nation (and especially the tribes) to join well-wishers, your own sons, the Tehreek-e-Taliban, and fight against this anti-Islam, anti-national army and achieve salvation, so that your religion, faith, honor and dignity can be protected and peace and order can be restored and the occupation of our resources by others can be ended.” (NVI)

Time for Indian Muslim Youth to Reject Radicalism and Re-Embrace Sufi Islam

By Abu Ashraf Zeeshan

In the wake of rising global extremism, ideological confusion, and identity crises among segments of Muslim youth, India finds itself at a critical crossroads.

The country’s Muslim population rich in diversity and heritage is being increasingly targeted by radical ideologies emanating from outside its borders, especially from West Asian Salafi and Wahhabi influences.

These ideologies, alien to India’s pluralistic roots, pose a serious threat to the spiritual, cultural, and social fabric of Indian Islam.

The time has come for Indian Muslim youth to decisively reject radicalism and return to the deeply rooted, peaceful, inclusive traditions of Indian Sufi Islam.

Understanding the Roots of Radicalism

Radicalism, in the context of contemporary Muslim societies, is a byproduct of political conflicts, identity suppression, and manipulation by foreign-funded ideologies. Movements such as Salafism, Wahhabism, and the more recent Deobandi Takfiri variants have found ways to exploit the emotional vulnerabilities of young minds through literature, online propaganda, and sermons.

These ideologies preach a puritanical, rigid, and exclusivist version of Islam. They reject centuries of Islamic scholarship, spiritual practices, and the lived realities of Indian Muslims.

More dangerously, they promote the idea of takfir declaring other Muslims as non-believers and cultivate hatred towards Non Muslims.

The result is a dangerous spiral into social alienation, communal tension, and in some extreme cases, violent extremism.

Indian Islam: An Inclusive Civilization

What makes Indian Islam unique is its Sufi ethos a centuries-old spiritual movement that entered India with saints, not soldiers.

The Sufis spoke the language of love, peace, and universal brotherhood. They didn’t impose; they inspired. From Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer to Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya in Delhi, and from Shah Barkatullah in Marehra to Imam Ahmed Raza in Bareilly, the Sufi saints built a spiritual bridge between Islam and Indian culture.

Sufi Islam in India developed in dialogue with local traditions, celebrating pluralism rather than condemning it. It encouraged art, Soft music (qawwali), poetry, and service to humanity. It promoted an Islam that is spiritual and socially responsible not political or power hungry.

Why Indian Muslim Youth Are Vulnerable

In recent years, several factors have led some Indian Muslim youth to feel alienated. Political marginalization, rising Islamophobia, socio economic backwardness, and lack of proper religious guidance have created a vacuum.

Radical groups exploit this vacuum by offering a counterfeit sense of pride and purpose through ideology.

The digital age has worsened the problem. Radical preachers with no roots in Indian culture or scholarship, sitting in Gulf nations or elsewhere, are accessed through YouTube and social media platforms.

They romanticize an imagined Islamic utopia while condemning local religious practices as “shirk” (polytheism) and “bid’ah” (innovation). What they offer is not spirituality but sectarian anger.

Sufi Islam: The Antidote to Extremism

Sufi Islam is not merely a spiritual path it is a philosophy of coexistence. At a time when the world is torn by divisive ideologies, Sufism promotes humility over arrogance, love over hate, and peace over violence.

It doesn’t divide humanity into “us” and “them.” Instead, it upholds the Quranic principle that “We have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another.” (Surah Al-Hujurat:13)

The teachings of Indian Sufis emphasize service (khidmat), tolerance (sabr), and love (ishq-e-haqiqi). Unlike the Wahhabi-Salafi mindset that politicizes religion and promotes theological rigidity, Sufi Islam focuses on internal reform and compassion toward others.

For Indian youth, embracing Sufi values does not mean withdrawal from modern life. It means building a life that is both spiritually fulfilling and socially constructive.

It means being proud of one’s Indian Muslim identity without feeling the need to mimic foreign models of religiosity.

Educational Reform and Community Role

To bring about a meaningful shift, Indian Muslim leadership and civil society must prioritize religious literacy, historical awareness, and critical thinking.

Islamic studies in madrasas and community centers must include the contributions of Indian Sufi scholars, the inclusive legacy of composite culture and the pluralistic interpretation of Islam upheld by Indian Ulema.

Parents, educators, and religious leaders must initiate conversations with youth about the dangers of online radical content. There is a dire need to reclaim Islamic discourse from extremist voices and refocus it on spirituality, ethics, and social responsibility.

Role of Sufi Institutions and Youth Platforms

India’s Sufi shrines and Khanqahs, which once served as community hubs, must be revived to engage with the youth meaningfully.

These spaces should host interfaith dialogues, career mentorship programs, arts and cultural festivals, and sessions on spiritual development. We need a 21st-century Sufism that can speak to the digital generation firm in its faith, flexible in its outreach.

Digital platforms too should be flooded with positive Sufi content videos, lectures, podcasts, and stories of harmony that counter extremist narratives. Influencers, scholars, and youth icons must step up to make Indian Islam relevant, proud, and peaceful again.

This is a defining moment. Indian Muslim youth have a choice either fall into the trap of imported radicalism or rise with the strength of their own spiritual legacy.

The time has come to reclaim our identity as Indian Muslims not by rejecting India, but by embracing the deep roots we have grown here.

Let us remember the words of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya: “The heart of a lover is always at peace.”

It’s time we stop chasing borrowed ideologies and return home to our own Sufi path—a path of peace, dignity, and deep connection with the Creator and creation alike.

In conclusion, the rejection of radicalism and the revival of Sufi Islam is not just a spiritual necessity it’s a national imperative.

For the future of India, for the unity of our society, and for the soul of Indian Islam itself, our youth must lead this renaissance with clarity, courage, and compassion.

During the Operation Baam, which means ‘dawn’, BLF freedom fighters carried out coordinated actions across Makran, Rakhshan, Kolwah, Sarawan, Jhalawan, Koh-e-Sulaiman, Bela, and Kachhi, effectively crippling the colonial administrative machinery of the occupying Pakistani state, said its spokesman Major Gwharam Baloch in a statement.

Additionally, 9 operatives from intelligence agencies were also eliminated, the spokesman said, referring to the killing of the Punjabis intercepted at a checkpost and identified as spies.

During the operation, 7 mobile towers, along with their machinery, were set ablaze and 22 checkpoints and blockades were established at various strategic points, he said.

A total of 25 vehicles, including trucks involved in transporting minerals and gas tankers, were destroyed or disabled, he said.

In targeting the surveillance infrastructure, more than 5 surveillance drone cameras and quadcopters were also shot down, the spokesman said.

One bank was set on fire, while a bus belonging to a government secretariat was damaged, he added.

The 84 attacks included over 30 direct attacks on Army and FC personnel, 2 attacks on Military Intelligence (MI) and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), 4 ambush-style attacks, one attack on Customs, one on Coast Guard, 4 on Levies checkpoints, 4 attacks targeting the police, according to the statement.

In several operations, weapons were seized at more than 4 locations, including one instance where a bank guard’s weapon was taken, the spokesman said.

“This operation reflects the organized and strategic military capabilities of the BLF, aimed at directly challenging the occupation, military presence, and exploitative systems imposed by the Pakistani state,” Major Baloch said.

“Operation Baam not only represents a shift in the military strategy and operational strength of the Balochistan Liberation Front, but also signifies a major development in the broader Baloch national liberation movement,” he said.

“Through Operation Baam, the BLF has sent a direct message to the occupying state of Pakistan:The days of its forced occupation and colonial plunder of Balochistan are numbered,” he said.

“The occupying state can no longer maintain its writ through violence, repression, and brute force nor can it deceive the Baloch nation through conspiracies, divide-and-rule tactics, hypocritical propaganda of Islamic brotherhood, false democracy, or the illusions of so-called parliamentary politics,” he said.

“The ugly and foul reality of Greater Punjab, Punjabi chauvinism, and fascism under the banner of Pakistan has been fully exposed to the Baloch nation

“We make it absolutely clear to the occupying Pakistani state and Punjabi rulers that Balochistan will no longer remain the ‘goose that lays golden eggs’.

“Any Punjabi effort to continue the forced occupation of Balochistan will lead only to fire and blood.

“The longer the Punjabi ruling class including their politicians, intellectuals, and supporters delay in accepting Balochistan’s independence and ending Pakistan’s occupation, the heavier the price they will have to pay.” (NVI)
