QUETTA: Armed groups in Balochistan are fighting for its freedom and not for provincial autonomy, Baloch separatist leader Bramdagh Bugti has said in an exclusive interview with Daily Times.
He said he did not want to negotiate with the government in Islamabad because it could not control the army.
The Baloch were an oppressed nation, he said, and would welcome “all types of external support from India and rest of the world”.
He said the weapons being given to Pakistan to fight terrorists and the Taliban were being used against the Baloch. He invited international media and human rights organisations to witness what he called violations of the human rights by the army in Balochistan.
