In his statement regarding Balochistan’s Independence Day from British rule on August 11, the spokesperson for the Baloch National Movement (BNM) said that August 11 is a day to renew our commitment. He urged everyone to reaffirm their pledge to restore Balochistan’s independence and to vow, “I swear by the blood of Baloch martyrs that I will persist in the struggle for Baloch independence and will not take any actions that could undermine the independence movement or harm Baloch national interests.”
He stated that on August 11, 1947, Balochistan declared full independence from British rule. On that day, Balochistan’s leadership established the framework for a future democratic Balochistan and outlined the vision for Baloch national development as an independent nation.
The spokesman stated that if the Baloch nation had not been deprived of its freedom due to British conspiracy, there would likely be prosperity and peace throughout the region, including Balochistan, today. Britain allowed Pakistan to occupy Balochistan but did not act to safeguard the fundamental rights of its people. He criticized the Commonwealth of Nations as a failed concept, claiming that this institution, established under British patronage, is distant from its core objectives of democracy, peace, and human rights protection.
He stated that the creation of Bangladesh and the ongoing struggles of subjugated nations in present-day Pakistan demonstrate that the partition of India has been a profound failure.
The BNM spokesperson called for Pakistan’s expulsion from the Commonwealth for straying from its objectives. They urged Britain to rectify its historical error and support Baloch national independence.
He further stated that the Baloch nation has been denied all basic rights, including freedom, in Pakistan. Pakistan has obstructed the peaceful struggle of the Baloch nation by killing their political leaders and nationalist activists. The Baloch nation will never forgive the bloodshed of the thousands of martyrs in their fight for freedom. The ultimate reward for their sacrifice is complete national independence from Pakistan.
The spokesperson emphasized that August 11 serves as a reminder of the crucial need for national freedom to ensure our survival and prevent the threat of genocide. They highlighted that the state of Pakistan seeks to undermine our national identity by distorting our languages, culture, literature, and values. The national liberation movement is essential for safeguarding our existence.
Addressing those struggling in the Baloch Freedom Movement, he urged national political activists to reflect on their individual roles and renew their commitment. He emphasized the need to increase public participation in the national freedom struggle by spreading the message of national freedom to every Baloch and securing their full support.
