Dr. Naseem Baloch, Chairman of the Baloch National Movement (BNM), called for the unity of Sindhis, Baloch, and Pashtuns, emphasizing the need for collective action rather than mere words. He stated, “For centuries, our ancestors fought invaders and tyrants—from the British to previous empires, to those who sought to rule us against our will. Today, we continue that struggle. And just as those empires crumbled, so too will Pakistan.
He shared these thoughts while speaking at the Sindh Conference 2025, organized by the World Sindhi Congress in Geneva.
He stressed the importance of bringing their voices together on every international platform, exposing Pakistan’s crimes at global institutions, and standing in solidarity. “Our struggle is not just about land or resources. It is about dignity, about justice, and about the right to exist as free nations,” he declared. Dr. Baloch reminded the audience that Pakistan was imposed upon them in 1947, but their ancestors had been there for thousands of years before it and would endure long after it is gone.
While acknowledging the immense suffering of Sindh, including the suppression of the Sindhi language and culture, forced disappearances of activists, and economic strangulation, Dr. Baloch emphasized that the oppression faced by Balochistan and Sindh was not accidental, but part of a calculated strategy. “Let there be no mistake—the oppression of Balochistan and Sindh is not accidental. It is a well-crafted, calculated strategy.”
Dr. Baloch called for a decisive joint struggle, urging Baloch, Sindhi, and Pashtun nations to unite as one resistance, demanding complete freedom from Pakistan’s colonial rule. He also called on the international community to take immediate action, including conducting an investigation into Pakistan’s war crimes, pursuing legal cases at the UN and the International Court of Justice, and halting all military and economic aid to Pakistan until it ends its human rights violations. He demanded sanctions on Pakistani military and government officials responsible for these crimes.
“These are not just demands—they are a test of whether the international community truly stands for the principles it claims to uphold,” Dr. Baloch concluded. “And to Sindhis, Baloch, and Pashtuns, I say: our time has come.”
