The Baloch Liberation Army hijacked the Zafar Express train in Balochistan, Pakistan and took 214 Pakistani citizens hostage. The hostages also include army personnel, paramilitary forces, police and intelligence agencies. The BLA has claimed that BLA has killed more than 30 Pakistan soldiers. Now the BLA has given a 48 -hour ultimatum to the Shahbaz Sharif government for the release of Baloch prisoners who are jailed in Pak. However, the Pakistani Army-Police has not yet made official comments on this development.
According to BLA spokesperson Jend Baloch, ‘BLA fighters captured the Zafar Express train and took 214 passengers hostage, including officers of Pakistani Army, paramilitary forces, police and intelligence agencies’.
Pak loss
BLA claims that in this eight -hour struggle, he forced the Pakistani army to back down, in which more than 30 Pakistani soldiers were killed and several soldiers were injured and Pakistan suffered heavy losses.
48 -hour ultimatum to Pak government
BLA has given a 48 -hour ultimatum to the Government of Pakistan, declaring 214 Pakistani hostages as a war. He has demanded that all Baloch political prisoners, forcibly disappeared persons and National Resistance Activist should be released unconditionally.
The BLA has warned that if these demands are not met or Pakistan attempts to take military action, then all the prisoners will be killed and the train will be completely destroyed. BLA has also clarified that this is a final and non -changing announcement on their behalf.
Earlier, taking full responsibility of this operation, the BLA spokesperson issued a statement and said, ‘The Baloch Liberation Army has carried out a well -planned operation in Mashkaf, Dhadar, Boln, where our freedom fighters have blown the railway track, which had to stop the Jafar Express. The soldiers immediately captured the train and took all the passengers hostage.
‘Pak will be responsible for bloodshed’
The BLA has given a clear warning that if the Pakistani Army tries to do any operation, its results will be serious. All hundreds of hostages will be killed and the responsibility of this bloodshed will be completely of the Pak Army.
The BLA further said that this operation is being jointly run by Majeed Brigade, STOS and BLA’s Special Unit Fateh Squad. Any military action will be equally strongly responded to.
What does bla want
There are very straightforward and clear demands of BLA, which Baloch has placed in front of the world many times. They say that Balochistan is considered a separate province, the next country. He runs a different government. The first and biggest demand for Baloch is that no representation of any agency or security agency of Pakistan should be there in Balochistan.
Apart from this, Baloch believes that CPEC projects are going on with China. Their minerals are being exploited by projects. Due to these projects, a large number of people of the community have been displaced.
After this, Baloch people have been demanding to remove these projects from here for many years. This is not a new attack on Pakistan by the BLA, the BLA has been carrying out such attacks on Pakistan for the last several years. Sometimes a target of Chinese engineer, sometimes targets the diplomats of Pakistan.
