Dozens of exiled Baloch activists in Germany came out on Saturday, Aug 28, to chant anti-Pakistan protests and to laud Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his call to end atrocities in the beleaguered province.
Many of the Baloch activists were seen flying the Indian flag and shouting pro-Modi slogans at a rally held in the town of Leipzig, Times Now reported. This protest came as an embarrassment to Pakistan as it coincided with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s appointment of a 22 MP ‘K’ squad to tour the world with a Kashmir agenda.
“We respect PM Modi, are thankful to him. Unlike Pakistan he treats us with humanity,” one protester Hooran Baloch said. He added that Pakistan has again launched search operations in areas where Balochis live, and taken away “our brothers”.
Two weeks ago, in what is being seen a big strategic shift, Indian premier began to call out Pakistan for its so-called hypocrisy in commenting about Kashmir even as it continues to oppress people within its borders.
“We want freedom”, “Free Balochistan”, “Balochistan Zindabad” and “Go ahead Modi” were some of the slogans raised during the Leipzig rally, a media report said. “We are fighting for our nation. How many people will you kill? We believe in humanity, there is nothing higher than that to us”, Hooran Baloch said. “Our protest is for the people of Balochistan and for the human rights violation happening in Pakistan by the Pakistani state” said another protester.
