Escalating tensions between India and Pakistan are underscored by new intelligence pointing to Pakistan’s potential destabilization plans. Security agencies in India are actively monitoring concerning signals originating from across the border, particularly in the wake of a recent blast near the Red Fort. Investigations into this incident have reportedly uncovered links to Pakistan’s established terror networks, with evidence suggesting involvement of the Jaish-e-Mohammed. Arrested suspects have allegedly confessed to receiving directives from handlers based within Pakistan, hinting at a broader, orchestrated strategy. Analysts observing Islamabad’s actions believe a significant event is being prepared.
Amidst this charged atmosphere, prominent Baloch voices are emerging, issuing a strong appeal and a stark warning to India. Human rights activist Mir Yar Baloch has asserted that Pakistan “has no intention of abandoning terrorism.” He strongly advocates for India to consider a “large-scale and decisive operation, similar to what Israel has undertaken.” Baloch expressed his conviction that Pakistan would be unable to withstand an Indian military offensive for more than a month.
This counsel stems from years of observing Pakistan’s regional behavior and an acute awareness of its internal vulnerabilities. Baloch further outlined a strategic framework for India, proposing the establishment of emergency support lines and advocating for direct defensive and military aid to Balochistan and Afghanistan. He suggested that India would require at least ten additional airbases in Afghanistan, including Bagram, to enable operations from Afghan territory.
Additionally, he recommended equipping Afghanistan with long-range missiles and advanced defensive systems to safeguard its airspace against potential Pakistani airstrikes. Baloch military strategists, closely monitoring Pakistan’s internal situation, believe that Balochistan and Afghanistan, bolstered by anti-air systems and modern military technology, could effectively counter Pakistan. They posit that the collapse of Pakistan is imminent once such a defensive alliance is firmly established.
Baloch also made a bold claim regarding his own forces, stating they could achieve control within Pakistan in a matter of weeks. He predicted that Baloch fighters would soon secure control over Balochistan’s significant mineral resources, projecting massive financial losses for Pakistan as a consequence. These warnings arrive at a critical juncture, with New Delhi perceiving Pakistan’s actions as mirroring the turbulent geopolitical climate of the 1990s. The recent arrests, renewed terror group affiliations, and assertive regional posturing by Pakistan all point towards a unified, concerning direction. India is meticulously observing every development, and the appeal from the Baloch community adds a crucial dimension, informed by lived experience and the anticipation of a historical shift.
