A commander of the Balochistan Nationalist Army (BNA) and seventy other members of the nationalist separatist group have given up arms, according to Balochistan Caretaker Information Minister Jan Achakzai on Wednesday. This is a significant step forward for the Pakistani security forces battling militancy.
The interim minister stated, “The BNA is spilling the blood of their brothers at the behest of India,” while speaking at a press conference in Quetta alongside caretaker Home Minister Mir Zubair Jamali of Balochistan.
The minister stated, “India’s anti-Pakistan efforts have primarily targeted Balochistan because the enemy is aware that Pakistan’s path to advancement passes through Balochistan.”
This is the reason India has been trying to mislead the situation in the province for decades, he added.
Achakzai said that Bangalzai had taken Gulzar Imam Shanbay’s place after the latter’s arrest.
“Sarfaraz Bangalzai also realised the enemy’s conspiracy,” he said, adding that the sons of this soil retracted after knowing about India’s nefarious intentions.
Bangalzai expressed his happiness at returning to his homeland and people, saying that he had been away for a while.
“Weapon is not the solution to a problem. The parents should educate their children and keep them away from a negative environment,” he said.
According to the former BNA leader, women are also employed by outlawed militant groups in their nefarious schemes.
