Indian and Western foreign intelligence agencies have set a trap through Baloch Yakjehti Committee’s leader Dr Mahrang Baloch as well as other similar female activists running NGOs to crate further unrest in Balochistan as well as to eliminated the Sardari system in Baloch tribes. Dr Mahrang Baloch is rightly aggrieved over the missing persons as well as killings without trial but she and others are not in the knowledge that they are used by foreign elements to harm Pakistan. An honest endeavor is always made to distinguish between hardcore terrorists and suspected or alleged terrorist. Any law throughout the world does not permit killing of a suspect or accused without trial. It is the responsibly of journalists and civilized people to act as spokesperson for all the marginalized people and victim of human rights violations. “The Orient News” etc which were suspended after the incident always try to share and highlight the Truth.

In a recent incident, on 8th and 9th August 2025, there were propaganda posts of various social media forums that Dr Mahrang Baloch is linked with Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and The Majeed Brigade. Such unfounded black propaganda by Indian and some Pakistani anti-state or ignorant elements was silenced by submitting the Truth during discussions at the international forums. The facts and logics including that name Balochistan Liberation Army is alien to the Baloch nationalists so who was behind selecting such fancy name in English language? In operations against suspected Baloch linked with BLA and BRA neither their faces are shown in media or to the relatives are allowed to takeover dead bodies and are secretly buried claiming that it would otherwise account to glorification of terrorists, why Dr Mahrang Baloch if linked with BLA and Majeed Brigade are allowed interviews with The Guardian, Time Magazine, and other newspapers and magazines of repute? Why is the instant case she is not targeted and ruthlessly killed like other suspected BLA/ BRA so called terrorists?

In an emergency announcement ISPR revealed on 10 - 11 August 2025, Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir will visit US to engage senior political and military leadership. It was successful visit as next day the US State Department enhanced Pakistani outfits The Balochistan Liberation Army and The Majeed Brigade from Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) designation to Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). This means that the Baloch nationalist elements have honour to be designated FTO without any trial or investigation. Ironically, foreign organizations are declared by the US as FTO if these threaten the security of US nationals or the national defense, foreign relations, or economic interests of the United States. One wonders how long Pakistani military and civilian leadership would be trapping their own people and give an impression if internal security issues are more dangerous than external threats including from India. How long we would linger on pending disputes between India and Pakistan and instead of taking decisive action instead of naming own citizens as "Fitna al-Khawarij" and “Fitna-tul-Hindustan” or "Daish" and declaring them as terrorists. Why can't we target external power acting as hub of terrorism rather than killing suspected agents and proxies due to own vested interests. The UNO must investigate and ensure that where terrorism needs to be eliminated we must save innocent people getting ruthlessly killed to show fake efficiencies.
