New Delhi, June 1 (NationPress) Senior BJP leader and Lok Sabha member Nishikant Dubey has launched a sharp critique of Pakistan, asserting that there is widespread insurrection against its military and that the fear of India might lead to its fragmentation. He emphasized that Pakistan is heavily indebted, resulting in severe hardships like hunger and thirst for its citizens.
"Rebellion is rampant against the Pakistani army, which has resorted to bullets instead of providing bread," Dubey stated. He further commented that Pakistan perceives its nation as on the verge of being divided, hence labeling the quest for basic necessities in Balochistan as a struggle against Islam, branding its own citizens as Indian agents. This fear of India, he wrote on his X handle in Hindi (loosely translated), will ultimately fragment Pakistan.
In his post on X, Dubey also shared a formal document from the Pakistan government's Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control.
The letter, dated May 31, 2025, addresses the topic of "Reference to terrorist organisations in official correspondence and documents." Pakistan has accused India of instigating the unrest in Balochistan, claiming it undermines the Islamic faith and the sovereignty of Pakistan.
For decades, the people of Balochistan have been fighting for their rights, resources, and dignity. The Baloch, a distinct ethno-linguistic group, have faced marginalization and oppression within Pakistan.
Despite being among the largest provinces in the country, Balochistan remains significantly underdeveloped and sparsely populated. It is rich in natural resources, which the Pakistani Army and government exploit without benefiting local communities. Recently, the struggle for rights has intensified, even as many leaders have been arrested.
The community has seen numerous civilians detained, and the Pakistan Army is infamous for extrajudicial killings in the region, which has only fueled resentment. Basic rights have been systematically denied to the populace.
Disregarding the legitimate demands of the people, the Pakistani government has categorized their protests as acts of terrorism.
The government letter states that "considering the involvement of certain groups in terrorist activities in Balochistan, at the behest of India (Hindustan), which are harmful to both Islamic faith and the sovereignty of Pakistan, it has been decided to label all Terrorist Groups and Organizations in Balochistan as 'Fitna al Hindustan.'"
The letter aims to reflect the true nature and ideology of these terrorist organizations, highlighting their alleged malicious intentions against Pakistan. All governmental agencies are instructed to adopt this viewpoint.
Dubey has also raised questions regarding the IMF loans to Pakistan. In another post on X, he remarked that whether it be the IMF, China, America, Saudi Arabia, or Turkey providing loans to Pakistan, the funds will ultimately be wasted.
"A worthless Pakistan will collapse under its debt burden," he declared.
