Prominent Baloch leader Dr Allah Nizar Baloch has said that President of United Nations General Assembly should not be judgemental by relying only on Pakistani narrative. He said that president of UNGA’s terming of Baloch as terrorists is his “one-sided opinion”.
Baloch leader on Thursday posted a series of tweets in reply to a tweet by Volkan Bozkir, the president of UNGA, in which he had condemned the attacks in Bolan by Baloch Liberation Army.
I condemn the terrorist attack in Pakistan’s Balochistan province.
— Volkan BOZKIR (@volkan_bozkir) December 27, 2020
I express my condolences to the people and the Government of Pakistan.
Volkan Bozkir had tweeted his condemnation after Pakistani forces were targeted twice in Jhalawan Thankk area of Bolan, in which at least 9 personnel including JCOs of Pakistani military were killed and injured. BLA had claimed responsibility for both attacks and said 13 personnel were killed and several others were injured in the attacks. Outposts of Pakistani military were also captured by BLA in the first attack.
Dr Nizar said that: “President of the UN General Assembly’s condemnation of attack on Pakistani forces and terming Baloch as terrorists is his one-sided opinion.”
He added that the Pakistan is “committing genocide and war crimes in Balochistan” and the president of UNGA must not be judgemental by relying on Pakistani narrative only.
“Baloch are fighting for their freedom in accordance with the UN Charter which allows every nation to have a state,” he said.
The Baloch leader demanded that the United Nations must intervene as they did in East Timor and Bangladesh, and said that “our sovereign state was annexed by Pakistan by force.” “It is UNGA President’s responsibility to help Baloch in their freedom rather condemning our movement by favouring Pakistan which is a declared terrorist state,” Dr Nizar said.
