A senior Baloch leader in the US has called on President Trump to extend his support for freedom to the people of Balochistan, similar to his stance on Venezuela. Dr. Tara Chand, president of the Baloch American Congress, highlighted parallels between the situations in Venezuela and Balochistan. He criticized Pakistan’s Army Chief Asim Munir for allegedly exploiting Balochistan’s resources for China’s benefit.
Chand accused Munir of acting as a “double agent,” leveraging Balochistan’s resources for China while misleading the US. He urged President Trump to take decisive action against Munir, drawing comparisons to the US stance against Maduro in Venezuela. Chand also alleged Pakistan’s military involvement in drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, and human rights abuses, posing a threat to global stability.
The Baloch leader referenced past controversies, including the presence of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, suggesting military complicity. Chand condemned the security operations in Balochistan, citing daily killings and enforced disappearances as crimes against humanity. He emphasized the need for justice, freedom, and self-determination for the people of Balochistan.
The Baloch American Congress, advocating for Baloch rights, highlighted the ongoing struggle for self-determination. Chand, a former Balochistan government minister, underscored the importance of addressing human rights and resource control issues. These remarks coincide with global attention on authoritarian regimes and human rights violations, particularly in light of recent events in Venezuela.
