The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) will soon start a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about 'illegal Pakistani occupation' of estranged Balochistan province.
Muslim Rashtriya Manch (MRM), the Muslim arm of the Sangh, is making preparations to hold seminars in educational institutions across the country to build public opinion in favour of an Indian intervention into the Baloch conundrum. They intend to focus on human rights violations in the Pakistani province, such as summary trials and political murders by Pakistan's armed forces.
This move aimed at pressurising the Modi government to take a pro-active appraoch in the matter is the brain child of senior RSS pracharak Indresh Kumar. Prime Minister Modi had raked up the issue at last year's Independence Day speech and had formally added Balochistan in the country's policy quiver to tackle Pakistani propaganda of rights violation in Jammu and Kashmir. Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj had also raised the issue in the United Nations and described Pakistani actions in the province as the 'worst form of state repression'.
"At a recent meeting of MRM in Agra a couple of days ago, we decided that we are going to hold seminars and talks across the country on the Pakistani excesses in Balochistan. For long Pakistan has tried to mislead the world regarding Jammu and Kashmir, but here is a region that was an independent entity, and was annexed by the Pakistani forces without rhyme or reason," said MRM national convenor Mohammad Afzal.
In his address in Agra, Indresh Kumar said, "Pakistan government is perpetrating human rights violations in Balochistan. Baloch people are original Indian people. In Pakistan, 62 per cent of the land and 40 per cent of the population is Baloch. As these people are Indian people, it is the duty of Indian citizens to empathise with Balochs."
