Mehran Baluch said that few years back the same Pakistani representative Mr Bhutt had threaten the NGO head Mr Charles Graves to stop supporting the Baloch otherwise his organisation will face the consequences of what it had been doing. Mehran Baluch said Pakistan’s master China and OIC counties like Egypt and Turkey not only supported the suspension but demanded the withdrawal of the NGO from the UN Economic and Social Council. However Pakistan could not convince the United States of America, United Kingdom and Switzerland and thus failed in her efforts to completely withdraw the NGO’s status.

Mehran Baloch appealed the Baloch Nation to continue to raise their voice on all fronts and expose Pakistan’s atrocities against the people of Balochistan. He requested the Baloch youth that if they see the Pakistani forces committing any inhuman act or see anyone being beaten or arrested – try to make their video footage (mobile phone footage) and send it to all International Human Right Organisation and International media.

News Network International (NNI), a leading Pakistani news agency, on Saturday quoted Mirak Baloch, a spokesman of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), an underground armed group striving for an independent Balochistan, disassociating his organization from a news report that a private school in Gwadar had been threatened to stop co-education.

The director of the private school complained that he was continuously receiving letters identifying the senders as the representatives of some Baloch armed groups who wanted him to stop imparting co-education among its students.

The BLA spokesman said there was no denying the significance of women working with men side by side. There is a need to impart contemporary education among the Balochs to develop them socially, politically and economically. The spokesman urged the Baloch women to actively participate in the Baloch resistance movement and acknowledged their significant role in the national development. He regretted that the current class-based education system enforced in Pakistan was unlikely to end the educational backwardness of Balochs.
