Pakistan-China Alliance: An escalating threat to regional security.

Quetta, Jan 2 (NationPress) Prominent Baloch human rights advocate, Mir Yar Baloch, has reached out to External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar to highlight the severe human rights violations, state-sponsored terrorism, and ongoing occupation by Pakistan that the people of Balochistan have endured for nearly eighty years.

In his New Year message directed at EAM Jaishankar, the activist praised the decisive measures implemented by the Indian Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2025, particularly through Operation Sindoor, which effectively dismantled terrorism networks supported by Pakistan after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack last year. Mir characterized these actions as a clear testament to India’s unwavering bravery and commitment to both regional security and justice.

“On behalf of the six crore patriotic citizens of the Republic of Balochistan, we extend heartfelt New Year 2026 wishes to the one hundred and forty crore people of Bharat, including both Houses of Parliament, the media, civil society, and all esteemed individuals. This momentous occasion invites us to reflect on and celebrate the deep-rooted historical, cultural, commercial, economic, diplomatic, defense, and multifaceted ties that have united Bharat and Balochistan for centuries,” the letter expressed.

“These lasting connections are epitomized by sacred places like the Hinglaj Mata Temple (Nani Mandir), a timeless representation of our shared heritage and spiritual bonds,” it continued.

Mir reaffirmed his steadfast support for India and its government in nurturing “friendship, trust, and mutual interests that encompass peace, prosperity, development, trade, defense, security, future energy challenges, and the mitigation of hidden threats.”

He cautioned that the escalating strategic partnership between Pakistan and China poses significant risks, indicating that China, in collaboration with Pakistan, has advanced the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) to its concluding stages.

“If the capabilities of Balochistan's defense and liberation forces are not further strengthened, and if they continue to be neglected as has been the tradition, it is possible for China to deploy its military presence in Balochistan within a short span. The presence of Chinese military personnel on Balochistani soil, without the consent of the 60 million Baloch people, would present an unprecedented threat and challenge to the futures of both Bharat and Balochistan,” the human rights defender articulated.

Point of View

It is essential to recognize the significant human rights concerns raised by Mir Yar Baloch. His advocacy shines a light on the ongoing struggles faced by the people of Balochistan and highlights the geopolitical implications of Pakistan's ties with China. Our commitment to human rights and justice must remain steadfast as we navigate these complex international relationships.
