The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has launched an operation against Levies personnel in Kalat’s Nchari area on October 18, 2024. According to a statement by BLF spokesperson Major Gwahram Baloch, the group’s fighters (Sarmachars) initially encountered Levies forces during routine patrols. After disarming the Levies officials of their occupied-government-issued weapons, the BLF fighters released them unharmed.
Later the same day, BLF fighters confronted the Levies again at a police checkpoint, issuing a final warning to avoid obstructing the Baloch national liberation movement. However, instead of heeding the warning, Levies officers attempted to launch an attack. In response, the BLF fighters took defensive positions, resulting in the death of Levies soldier Abdul Qayyum and the injury of Rahmatullah Nichari.
Major Gwahram expressed regret over the loss of Baloch lives, emphasizing that the group had repeatedly warned Baloch individuals working in Army forces to abandon their roles in suppressing the movement. “It is deeply painful to see fellow Baloch being used by the occupying Paki establishment to sabotage our struggle for freedom. Our fight is for every Baloch, and it’s a tragedy when our own people become pawns of the enemy,” the statement read.
BLF Warning
The spokesperson condemned the Paki establishment for pursuing its colonial policy of dividing and weakening Baloch society. “Like all oppressive regimes, Pakistan thrives on spreading discord among the people it occupies. We urge every Baloch to resist becoming a tool of the state and instead recognize their responsibility towards the national cause,” he added.
The BLF issued a stern warning to Baloch personnel working in Paki institutions, urging them to avoid aiding the occupied-state’s brutal oppression. “Any Baloch aiding the enemy will not be spared. Collaborators will be held accountable before the national court of justice. The BLF will continue to act against all those who betray their people for the interests of the occupying state,” said Major Gwahram.
The statement concluded saying the BLF will target anyone who works against the liberation movement on the orders of the Paki establishment. “Our struggle will persist until Balochistan is free from the clutches of Pakistan’s military rule. Collaborators will face the full weight of justice for their betrayal,” the spokesperson warned.
This incident highlights the growing resistance within Balochistan, where nationalist fighters resist Pakistan’s military of sowing division and using local forces as proxies. With the BLF’s unwavering commitment to the cause, Pak Army tensions are likely to escalate as Baloch fighters intensify their efforts to counter Army repression.
