The Chairman of the Baloch National Movement (BNM), Dr. Naseem, emphasized during the party’s Capacity Building program that the eternal sacrifices of BNM leaders and activists embody the unwavering resolve and courage of the Baloch nation. BNM leaders and activists have always recognized that the pursuit of freedom is a long, complex, and arduous journey. They have not only confronted military actions and violence but have also endured the forced disappearances and torture of many members at the hands of the Pakistani army. Countless members have sacrificed their lives for this cause. Despite these grave atrocities, BNM remains resolute in its ongoing struggle for the liberation of Balochistan.
He stated that the aggression and cruelty of the occupying Pakistani army in Balochistan are increasing daily, with Baloch youth being abducted and their mutilated bodies recovered from various areas. Meanwhile, the Pakistani army has intensified its bombing of homes and the killing of innocent civilians, including women and children.
He emphasized that it is our moral and national responsibility, as Baloch and members of BNM, to raise our voices against the ongoing human rights violations in Balochistan. The current atrocities and aggression in Balochistan are escalating daily, and remaining silent in the face of them is not only a betrayal of our identity but also of humanity. We must raise a united and effective voice against these injustices, recognizing our social and human duties, so that the truth of these atrocities can reach the world. It is our duty to struggle at every possible level for the independence of Balochistan and the protection of the Baloch nation, while laying the foundation for a strong and enduring movement against human rights violations.
He stressed the importance of the youth understanding their identity and history, recognizing how the occupying state of Pakistan has consistently attempted to distort the true essence of the Baloch nation. Pakistan has relentlessly worked to erase the culture, language, traditions, and history of the Baloch nation in an effort to sever their connection to their true existence and heritage. The youth must realize that their identity is not merely tied to a geographical location or an official narrative but is deeply rooted in rich historical and cultural foundations that Pakistan has sought to suppress through force and oppression.
In conclusion, he stated that the occupying Pakistan has severely cracked down on the BNM, attempting to suppress the voices of its leaders and members through various means. Yet, the leaders and members of the Baloch National Movement have never wavered in their commitment to their national cause, freedom, and rights. They have steadfastly adhered to their principles, refusing to abandon their struggle. Their determination and courage stand as proof that the Baloch nation is resolute in continuing its fight, no matter the cost, to secure its rights and freedom. These leaders and members have sacrificed their lives, endured the hardships of imprisonment, and faced relentless oppression, yet they never faltered in their pursuit of their goal. Their struggle serves not only as a powerful message for the BNM but also as a symbol that the freedom movement of the Baloch nation cannot be silenced. Their sacrifices and perseverance will remain a beacon of inspiration on the path to freedom for the Baloch nation.
The program was hosted by the BNM Awaran-Mashkai Zone, with Zonal President Ustad Mehran Baloch serving as the stage secretary.
