Terrorism’s ominous presence continues to haunt the Balochistan region of Pakistan, inflicting indescribable pain and suffering upon its inhabitants. Recently, in a compelling interview on the news program ‘Aitraz Hai’ broadcasted by ARY News, Sarfraz Bangulzai, a former government employee turned participant in acts of terrorism, shared a gripping narrative of his involvement. Like a piercing beam of light, his interview unveiled the intricate web of terrorism that has tightly gripped the area, exposing a disturbing truth that demands urgent attention.
Bangulzai revealed his journey into the dark world of terrorism. During his school days, he became associated with the Baloch Student Organization (BSO), an organization that purported to champion the cause of Baloch nationalism. However, as he revealed in the interview, the BSO leaders were not merely proponents of peaceful activism. Instead, they propagated a radical ideology, brainwashing impressionable young minds like his own. Their influence was so potent that Bangulzai eventually succumbed to their persuasive tactics and joined their ranks. Little did he know that this decision would lead him down a path of violence and destruction.
What makes Bangalzai’s testimony particularly alarming is the revelation of India’s direct involvement in supporting terrorism in Pakistan. He claimed that Indian authorities have established connections with individuals from various terrorist organizations, providing them with weapons, resources, and other forms of assistance. These connections are facilitated through neighboring countries, making it even more challenging to counteract the spread of terrorism in the region.
Moreover, in a shocking twist, Bangulzai alleged that Indian officials even requested terrorists to record videos of their activities, intending to use them as propaganda tools to discredit Pakistan on the international stage. Such blatant interference by a neighboring country is not only a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty but also a grave threat to regional stability.
The extent of India’s involvement goes beyond logistical support; it includes financial backing for acts of terrorism. Bangulzai revealed that various sources provide monetary support specifically for carrying out targeted killings of influential figures, including clerics, judges, and professors. These acts of violence are fueled by substantial amounts of money, often provided in different currencies, by Indian entities including RAW. The motive behind these targeted killings seems to be twofold: to destabilize the social fabric of Balochistan and to instill fear and uncertainty in the hearts of its people.
In addition to financial support, terrorist outfits operating in Balochistan engage in other illicit activities to generate funds. Bangulzai disclosed that these banned outfits resort to ransom and extortion, exploiting businessmen, contractors, and wealthy individuals for financial gain. They are also involved in drug smuggling, capitalizing on the illegal narcotics trade to finance their operations. The scale of their activities is truly alarming, some Baloch tycoons who refused to provide financial assistance were ruthlessly eliminated. This highlights the ruthless nature of these terrorist groups and the lengths to which they will go to ensure their survival and continued funding.
Bangulzai’s revelations bring to light the far reaching financial consequences of terrorism, which extend beyond individual targets to affect developmental projects in the region. He exposed how terrorist organizations exploit these projects by extorting money from contractors, demanding a percentage of the funds and impeding progress until their demands are met. This destructive practice not only hinders the growth and prosperity of Balochistan but also perpetuates a vicious cycle of violence and fear, further marginalizing the local population. By disrupting the implementation of vital projects, these terrorist activities have a detrimental impact on the region’s development and exacerbate the existing challenges faced by the community.
The revelations made by Sarfraz Bangulzai shed light on the alarming truth of India’s negative involvement in supporting terrorism in Balochistan. Despite his concerns and dedicated efforts to raise awareness about these activities, Bangulzai expressed deep disappointment at the lack of attention he received. It appeared that the vested interests of certain individuals took precedence over addressing the urgent and pressing issue at hand. Nonetheless, this interview marks a crucial milestone in exposing the disturbing reality and initiating vital discussions and investigations into the complex problem of terrorism in Balochistan backed by India.
All in all, Sarfraz Bangulzai’s interview has provided a gripping account that uncovers the intricate web of terrorism plaguing Balochistan. His testimony sheds light on the distressing reality of India’s involvement in supporting terrorism in the region. The revelations not only expose India’s direct connections with terrorist organizations but also highlight their financial backing and involvement in illicit activities such as extortion and drug smuggling. It is imperative to confront the support networks, dismantle the financial backing, and ensure lasting peace and stability in Balochistan. This interview serves as a reminder that the fight against terrorism requires collective efforts and a unified stance to eliminate this menace and create a safer future for the people of Balochistan.
