QUETTA: The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) on Tuesday warned the people of Balochistan to quit working for law-enforcement agencies or “the BLA will kill them”. BLA spokesman Bibarg Baloch told Daily Times that Baloch people should quit their jobs in the army, Frontier Corps and police, adding that people should also refrain from seeking jobs in the law-enforcement agencies. The BLA threatened to “kill everyone who does not pay heed to its warning”. He also asked the people not to stand near police or security checkposts, to avoid collateral damage that might result because of the BLA’s plans to target security forces. “Regular attacks will take place on government installations and policemen. The BLA feels sorry for innocent people who are often killed in attacks on security forces,” he said. Responding to a statement by Pakistan People’s Party (Balochistan) President Haji Lashkari Raisani that the people of Balochistan would take to task the elements targeting government installations and security forces, Bibarg said, “Raisani has said that the Baloch people do not need the BLA. We are fighting a war of independence for achieving the great cause of liberation.” He rejected a claim by PPP leader Dr Babar Awan that there were no separatist tendencies in Balochistan, saying Awan was oblivious of the ground realties. staff report
