Mama Qadeer Baloch, the Vice Chairman of the organization, pointed out that since 1839, numerous Baloch children have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of their homeland. He emphasized that hundreds of these martyrs remain unknown and uncelebrated. Mama Qadeer Baloch questioned the fairness of commemorating documented martyrs while neglecting these unsung heroes, highlighting the injustice in such an approach.
Mama Qadeer Baloch announced the decision to observe a unified Baloch Martyrs’ Day on November 13, signifying the ongoing struggle of Balochistan. He reflected on the historical significance of this date, as it marks 173 years since the British launched their first external attack to seize Balochistan. This attack led to the martyrdom of the ruler of Balochistan, Shaheed Mir Mehrab Khan, and many of his companions while defending their land. Mama Qadeer Baloch emphasized that this event serves as the foundation of Balochistan’s history, as it symbolizes the beginning of their struggle, with all Baloch children achieving the highest level of martyrdom.
He underscored that this decision is both historic and timely, suggesting that instead of fragmenting the commemorations into separate days, celebrating all Baloch Martyrs on one day can rekindle their memory and strengthen the national movement for unity. Mama Qadeer Baloch called upon all political parties to support this significant decision, urging them to celebrate Martyrs’ Day in a spirit of equality and promote their noble cause. He reiterated that November 13 holds profound significance in Balochistan’s history, and the blood of these martyrs will continue to serve as a guiding light towards their collective destination.
