London [UK], Aug 14 : Free Balochistan Movement (FBM) organised a seminar here to mark the Independence Day of Baloch.
It was attended by members of several Baloch and non-Baloch political parties including Baloch Republican Party (BRP), Balochistan National Movement (Zrombesh), Balochistan People Party, Nation without States, Arab Front for The liberation of ALahwaz, Campaign against Criminalizing Communities and 15 April Movement for Liberation of Al- Ahwaz.
Mir Suleman Daud – the Khan of Kalat – said that Balochistan was an independent country but Pakistani occupied it illegally. He also said that some “Baloch Nawabs and Sardars conspired” with Pakistan to undermine the sovereignty of Balochistan.
Daud said that it is on record that both the houses of parliament of Balochistan (Kalat State) refused to join Pakistan.
Suleman Daud also spoke about the recent inclusion of Balochistan Liberation Army on the terrorist list by the US administration, He emphasised that Baloch were not terrorists, in fact, they were defending their land and people from foreign invasion and aggression.
“We are trying to protect our resources from the Chinese and we are agitating because we are an occupied nation we have got the right to self-defence and I think if Germany had invaded Britain, they would have done the same. That’s what we are doing and we should keep on doing it,” he added.
He said this was all politics as the US had previously banned Mujahideen Khalq (Maryam Rajavi’s party) but now they have taken this group off the terrorist list.
He also emphasised that there are several terrorist organisations whose leaders are in Pakistan even the biggest organisation like Al-Qaeda had their leaders in Pakistan.
