BLF chief calls on Kashmiris, Pashtuns to join Baloch struggle

Synopsis

BLF chief Allah Nazar Baloch has issued his most explicit call yet for Kashmiris and Pashtuns to unite with the Baloch struggle, predicting Pakistan will shrink to a 'landlocked Punjab.' The statement arrives amid deadly clashes in PoK and a Pakistani government ban on the JAAC — raising the stakes of an already volatile multi-front resistance narrative.

Key Takeaways

BLF chief Allah Nazar Baloch called on Kashmiris and Pashtuns to support the Baloch national struggle, describing the moment as historically decisive.
He claimed the Baloch, Sindhi, Pashtun, and Kashmiri peoples have faced 'exploitation, oppression and war crimes for 77 years .' He characterised Pakistan as a 'military, occupying, and expansionist state' and predicted it would 'shrink to a landlocked Punjab.' Earlier in June 2025 , he expressed support for PoK protesters following deadly clashes in Rawalakot between law enforcement and demonstrators.
The clashes in PoK followed Pakistan's decision to declare the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) a proscribed group under anti-terrorism laws.

Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) chief Allah Nazar Baloch has urged Kashmiri and Pashtun communities to align with the Baloch national struggle, asserting that a united resistance 'could change the course of history' at what he described as a decisive moment for oppressed regions in Pakistan. The remarks, attributed to the BLF leader by The Balochistan Post, were made from Quetta and represent one of his most explicit calls for cross-ethnic solidarity against what he termed 'Punjabi colonialism.'

Key Statements by the BLF Chief

Allah Nazar Baloch claimed that the 'Punjabi state' had reached the final stage of its political lifespan and that Punjab would 'soon become a besieged and landlocked region.' He extended a direct invitation to Kashmiris and Pashtuns, saying: 'As a Baloch national soldier, on the front of resistance, I am ready to welcome Kashmiris and Pashtuns on behalf of the Baloch nation with an open heart and warmth.'

He argued that a collective stand by the Baloch, Sindhi, Pashtun, and Kashmiri peoples — who he said had faced 'exploitation, oppression and war crimes for 77 years' — could compress decades of political change into years. 'In light of history, I believe that when the resistance and freedom movements of different nations unite against a common enemy, they change the course of history,' he said, according to reports.

Pakistan Described as 'Occupying State'

The BLF chief characterised Pakistan as a 'military, occupying, and expansionist state' built on the lands of oppressed regions, calling its structure 'an ugly stain on the face of history and a collection of contradictions.' He reportedly said Pakistan had 'come close to that end,' suggesting the state carried 'the seeds of collapse within its own existence,' according to The Balochistan Post.

Earlier Remarks on Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir

Earlier in June 2025, Allah Nazar Baloch had commented on unrest in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), stating that the resistance of its people against Pakistani and Punjabi domination demonstrated that 'oppressed nations cannot be subjugated by force.' He noted that decisions regarding PoK were reportedly being taken by secretary-level officials in Islamabad rather than by the region's own people.

He expressed moral and political support for the freedom struggles of Kashmiris, Pashtuns, and Sindhis: 'We morally and politically support the freedom struggle of Kashmiris, Pashtuns and Sindhis,' he said, as per the report.

Context: PoK Clashes and JAAC Crackdown

The BLF chief's earlier statements came after multiple reports indicated that dozens of people were killed and hundreds injured in deadly clashes between law enforcement personnel and protesters in Rawalakot city of PoK. The clashes followed Pakistani authorities declaring the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) a proscribed organisation under anti-terrorism laws. The JAAC had previously led protests in PoK over economic grievances and demands for political rights.

With tensions in PoK and Balochistan both running high, the BLF chief's call for pan-ethnic resistance marks a notable escalation in the rhetorical posture of Baloch separatist leadership.

Point of View

But the timing sharpens its significance — it comes as PoK sees its most serious street unrest in years and as Pakistan moves to legally suppress the JAAC. The framing of 'Punjabi colonialism' is a deliberate attempt to recast a separatist insurgency as a multi-ethnic liberation movement, broadening its ideological appeal beyond Balochistan's borders. Whether Kashmiri or Pashtun political actors respond in any meaningful way remains the real test of this appeal. For now, the statement reads more as a signal of intent than a coordinated strategic shift.
