Martyr Shadad and Ehsan realised that violence can only be countered with violence, Baloch leader said.
According to TBP social media desk, Bashir Zeb Baloch, the head of an armed organisation, Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) tweeted on Tuesday regarding the two Baloch students allegedly killed by Pakistani forces on Saturday.
BLA, the armed organisation striving for the independence of Balochistan, a neglected natural resource rich region, has claimed that both the deceased were affiliated with the organisation.
In first tweet Bashir Zeb Baloch said “Martyr Shadad and Ehsan had reached a level of consciousness that they could not disregard Pakistani brutalities, exploitation and the humiliation of Baloch women any further.”
The tweet continues to the 2nd thread, in which he further stated “With their education and experiences they had come to realise that violence can only be countered with violence and the ultimate solution against an imposed war exists solely in a national resistance movement”.
It is to mention that two young Baloch students, Shadad and Ehsan were shot dead on Saturday in Kalat area of Balochistan, which Baloch pro-freedom groups and BLA claimed that they were targeted by Pakistani army and the death squad groups under patronage of the army.
Both the young men, were widely known due to their student activism, were highly educated ex-students of prestigious Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU) Islamabad. Shahdad Baloch, after completing his master’s degree in Defence and Strategic Studies at QAU, was enrolled in M.Phil program at the National Institute of Pakistan Studies. Whereas, Ehsan Baloch had earned his master’s degree in Gender Studies from QAU Islamabad. Ehsan also had a master’s degree in English Literature from Turbat University.
A famous Twitter user, thinker and Development Consultant, Salma Jafar said: “One year on an Mphil program in a reputable institute, raising critical & intelligent questions on a public forum, music & activism but next year enforcedly disappeared, released but this time you pick the gun. Entire story of despair & injustice in a single profile of a young Baloch man.”
Their ex-colleagues, fellow students and teachers are shocked and asking the same question as everyone else in that region does that how come such brilliant minds and owners of great ideas for future, drop the pens and pick up guns?
