A few days ago, a train hijack incident took place in Balochistan, a terror-hit Pakistan. Baloch rebels hijacked the Jaffar Express train. There were 440 passengers on the train.
While the Pakistani army has claimed that the operation is over with the release of all the hostages, the Balochistan Liberation Army has claimed that many Pakistani soldiers are still in their custody. This incident drew the attention of the whole world towards Pakistan.
What did the Baloch Human Rights Council say about the incident?
Khurshid Ahmed, Information Secretary of the Baloch Human Rights Council in London, spoke about the train hijack. Expressing concern over the incident, he said, this incident shows that Pakistan is getting weak. Meanwhile, Baloch freedom fighters are getting stronger in Balochistan.
Khurshid Ahmed also praised the rebels. He said that even in such harsh conditions, the Baloch freedom fighters followed human rights standards and allowed the elderly, women, and families to return to Quetta.
They took several military personnel hostage and demanded the release of the missing Baloch people. We think such incidents will not stop in the future.
He further said, "We are seeing Baloch freedom fighters, especially BLA, attacking Pakistan-China projects in Balochistan. BLA is protecting its homeland. The situation in Balochistan demands that India and Western powers should support the national struggle of the Baloch."
Pakistan Railways stated train hijack.
Railway controller Muhammad Kashif has said that this train with nine coaches was stopped by armed men in tunnel number 8. According to Pakistan Railways, there are 17 tunnels on this railway track and due to inaccessible terrain, trains often move slowly. Pakistan's Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi condemned the incident and said, "The brutes who shot innocent passengers do not deserve any concession.
It is worth noting that this railway line was attacked by Baloch terrorists with rockets or remote-controlled bombs. BLA claimed responsibility for most of the attacks.
In October last year, Pakistan Railways restored rail services between Quetta and Peshawar after more than a month and a half. Terrorist attacks have increased in Balochistan in the last year. In November 2024, 26 people were killed and 62 others were injured in a suicide blast at Quetta railway station.
Balochistan struggling with violent separatism.
Oil and mineral-rich Balochistan is Pakistan's largest but least populated province by area. Balochistan, bordering Iran and Afghanistan, has long been battling violent separatism. Baloch insurgent groups often attack security personnel, government projects, and a US$60 billion project in the region. Attacks continue to target the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects.
