The BLF leader said that it is time for world powers to change their policy on Afghanistan and Pakistan region.
Rahim Baloch, another Baloch leader and former Chairman of Baloch Students Organisation, also expressed similar views and said: “Assassination of Kandahar Police Chief General Abdul Raziq and others is an attack of ISI backed elements on efforts for peace, democracy and stability in Afghanistan”.
Mr. Baloch paid his condolences to the aggrieved families and the people of Afghanistan.
