ISLAMABAD:
Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lt General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry reaffirmed that Balochistan is an integral part of Pakistan and that no power can detach it from the country. “Balochistan is part of Pakistan and will always remain so,” he declared, adding, “No one can separate it.”
Addressing educators during the Hilal Talks 2025 programme organised by the military’s media wing on Monday, the DG ISPR dismissed the narrative of Balochistan’s separatism as baseless, asserting that the province is deeply integrated into Pakistan’s economy and society.
“The propaganda that Balochistan can be separated is unfounded,” he said. “Baloch, Sindhi, Pashtun, Punjabi, Kashmiri, and Balti – we are all brothers and united. No one can divide us,” he affirmed.
The military spokesperson warned that India and its proxies pose a grave threat to regional peace, providing full financial support from New Delhi to the banned Balochistan Liberation Army, locally referred to as ‘Fitna al-Hindustan’.
“There is no idea or ideology behind the terrorism in Balochistan – it is entirely India-sponsored.” He added that India alone bears responsibility for the destabilisation across the region. He also highlighted the enduring bond between the people and the armed forces, calling it a “timeless relationship of love.”
