Dr Murad Baloch, Secretary General of Baloch National Movement has strongly condemned the assassination of Bibi Kalsoom Baloch.
In a press statement, Dr Murad Baloch said that the state of Pakistan wants to destroy the idea of resistance from the Baloch nation by hurting the honour and dignity of the Baloch people through a series of humiliating incidents and torturous murders.
Dr Baloch’s statement comes after the incident of killing a Baloch woman, Bibi Kalsoom, in Dazan area of Tump during a burglary at her house.
The incident took place on Monday night when armed robbers entered a house in Dazan for looting, during which a woman named Kulsoom tried to resist, and was stabbed multiple times by the robbers in front of her young children.
Dr Murad Baloch said that after raiding Kalsoom Baloch’s house, the members of state-backed death squad stabbed her in front of her little girls with knives when she screamed for help. After the martyrdom of Baloch daughter, her jewels were taken off and the house was looted; such shameful and tragic incidents in Baloch society are the ominous face of occupation which Baloch people will not forget for centuries. Those involved in such heinous incidents have nothing to do with Baloch code of conduct and are barbarians far from humanity.
HRCP (The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan), has termed the incident inhumane and has said in a statement that, the incident which was occurred last night at 03:00 AM is extremely brutal, inhuman, immoral and a serious violation of Human Rights.
It is to recall that another incident of same fashion occurred few weeks ago in Turbat Dannuk in which a woman named Malik Naaz was killed and her daughter was wounded. The event resulted in an uproar across Balochistan and protests erupted not only in different cities of Balochistan but also in Karachi and Sindh. Demonstrations were also staged in Europe against the incident.
BNM Secretary General further stated: “The Punjabi state has adopted a strategy to counter the Baloch national struggle by systematic killings, enforced disappearances, demolishing the entire villages and by plundering of Baloch resources at the hands of the army and intelligence agencies, yet state has failed to counter the struggle. Following the failure of the state in this, the state has formed death squads of criminals and given free hand to them to dishonour the Baloch national dignity, play with their lives and still their property so that the national feeling and resistance in the society can be eradicated.”
“Death squads are the most valuable means to reduce the burden of direct accusations of Baloch genocide and war crimes of Pakistan at the international forums, but the Baloch nation has exposed Pakistan’s tactics to the world through its struggle,” he added.
