In a recent statement, Shahin Baloch, a ‘leader’ of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) accused Pakistan of forcibly integrating Balochistan into the country under the guise of Islam, The Balochistan Post reported on April 23. Despite 74 years passing, Balochistan continues to be deprived of all basic amenities. Shahin Baloch claimed that after seizing all resources of Balochistan, the rulers in Islamabad are callously enriching themselves while Balochistan languishes in poverty. Recent torrential rains have devastated various parts of Balochistan, with floods causing extensive damage and claiming numerous lives. However, the aid intended for the flood victims has yet to reach them, neither from Islamabad nor from the provincial authorities, TTP leader said.
