How the BLA Became Fitna al Hindustan
The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), now labeled Fitna al Hindustan by Pakistani authorities, began its journey in the year 2000. It started as a militant group demanding a separate homeland for Baloch people. The group rejected Pakistan’s authority in Balochistan and believed that the province’s resources were being unfairly taken by the federal government.
At first, their actions were limited to small attacks—blowing up gas pipelines, targeting checkposts and attacking government property. But over the years, their operations became more dangerous. They began using suicide bombers, attacking trains and even taking over government buildings. These attacks became so organized and deadly that they started resembling the actions of terrorist groups like FAK.
How They Operate and What Happened on June 21, 2025
Fitna al Hindustan is no longer just hiding in the mountains. Their latest actions show they now operate like urban terrorists (terrorists who carry out attacks in cities). On June 21, 2025, they launched coordinated attacks in Mastung, Nushki, Taftan, and Quetta.
In Kardagap, the terrorists stormed important offices, including the Levies Police Station, the NADRA office and the Assistant Commissioner’s office. They looted weapons like Kalashnikovs and G3 rifles, stole motorcycles, burned government documents, and destroyed offices.
They even set up illegal roadblocks and abducted non-local people to spread fear and panic. Their goal was clear: weaken state authority and create chaos.
What These Attacks Do to Pakistan
The impact of Fitna al Hindustan goes far beyond physical damage:
- Trust in the state is eroded (weakened): When people see terrorists easily taking over police stations and government buildings, they start doubting whether the government can protect them.
- Development is obstructed (slowed down or stopped): Investors don’t want to put their money in a place that is unsafe. As a result, projects like CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) are delayed. Job opportunities vanish and multi national companies avoid investment because of constant violence and unrest.
This leads to a cycle of poverty where young people don’t get jobs and lack basic life amenities hence the frustration grows.
Women at the Frontline of Terror — From Victims to Tools
Shari Baloch: The First Female Suicide Bomber
Shari Baloch shocked the country and the world in April 2022 when she carried out a suicide bombing at the Confucius Institute in Karachi University, killing three Chinese teachers and a Pakistani driver.
But Shari wasn’t a poor, brainwashed girl. She was well-educated, had a master’s degree, and was married to a dentist. Her background made the attack even more shocking. It showed that education does not guarantee sensible behaviour. The BLA proudly claimed her as their first female suicide bomber.
Shari’s act opened the door for more women to be used in violent missions.
Sumaiya Qalandrani Baloch: Another Tragic Example
Sumaiya Qalandrani, another educated girl from Balochistan, became the second known female suicide attacker in 2023. She blew herself up in Turbat, targeting a military convoy.
Like Shari, Sumaiya also had a privileged background and access to higher education. Yet she was convinced to become a tool for terror. Stories suggest she was radicalized slowly by those who disguised their agenda as “freedom fighting.”
These incidents made Baloch women look suspicious in the eyes of others. Now, even when a normal Baloch woman travels to another city, people fear she might be a suicide bomber. This is not only unfair but dangerous for women’s freedom and safety.
The Manipulative Game of Mahrang Baloch
Who is Mahrang?
Dr. Mahrang Baloch is a young woman often seen at protests, demanding justice for missing persons in Balochistan. She leads the Baloch Yakjehti Committee (BYC) and claims to fight peacefully for human rights. But there is more to the story.
Her real name is Mahrang Langove—her father is Abdul Ghaffar Langove. But she uses “Baloch” as her surname, which is not common in traditional Baloch culture. Why? To get ethnic sympathy and present herself as a leader of all Baloch people.
Playing the Sympathy Card in Jaffar Express Case
In the Jaffar Express train incident where terrorists hijacked the train, Mahrang showed up to claim the bodies of killed terrorists, saying they were her relatives. The military rightly refused, demanding proper verification. This shows her attempt to build a narrative that paints terrorists as “victims”—a dangerous and manipulative move.
Propaganda and Fake Victimhood
Whenever the state takes action against terrorists, some groups—including Mahrang and her allies—protest in the name of human rights. But they never protest when innocent Pakistanis are killed by the same terrorists.
They also misuse social media to show the terrorists as “angry Baloch” or “freedom fighters.” This kind of messaging poisons young minds, turning victims into villains and villains into heroes. It’s propaganda—using false or twisted information to influence public opinion.
Women of Balochistan – The Real Sufferer
Because of this chaos, the real victims are the innocent women of Balochistan:
- They are seen with suspicion across Pakistan as other communities have started fearing them for carrying terrorist acts.
- They have limited educational opportunities due to fear of being labeled as extremists.
- They are blocked from jobs and growth, because investors and institutions fear terror and dislike instability.
- Their freedom is silently taken away, as they can’t move safely or speak freely.
And all of this happens while the so-called “activists” defend those responsible for this terror.
Conclusion: Stop the Terror, Save the Future
Fitna al Hindustan is not a freedom movement—it is a terrorist group that uses violence and fear to push a radical agenda. Their actions damage the country, destroy lives and set women back decades.
Whether through bombs, lies or false protests, their goal is to create chaos and undermine the state. But we must see through the noise.
It is time to call out the manipulators, stand with law enforcement and protect innocent citizens—especially women—from being used as tools of terror.
