The arrest of Kulbhushan Jadhav, a former Indian Navy officer, in Pakistan on charges of espionage in Balochistan has brought that troubled region of Pakistan into focus. Naela Qadri Baloch, who lives in self-exile in Canada, arrived in India days after Jadhav’s arrest in Pakistan, and is the second Baloch liberation activist who has addressed public meetings in the country after Balochistan Liberation Organisation (BLO) representative Balaach Pardili who read out a statement from the London-based BLO leader Nawabzada Hyrbyair Marri, at a gathering in New Delhi on October 4. At the time, explaining Pardili’s presence, MEA spokesman had said that India was a home to “all the persecuted people of the world”. Naela Qadri, who addressed a press conference in Chandigarh on Thursday, told The Indian Express she is touring India to highlight the plight of the people of Balochistan. She spoke to The Indian Express on the role India can play in helping the Baloch gain freedom.

India, despite its strategic interests, has not been forthcoming in support to the Balochistan freedom movement, says a prominent author-activist from the restive western Pakistani province, rebutting Islamabad’s allegations that New Delhi was instigating separatist trouble there.

Naela Quadri Baloch, 50, also refuted Pakistan’s fresh claims that it had arrested from Balochistan an alleged Indian spy, Kulbushan Jadhav.

“For never was a story of more woe…”

The Baloch have been protesting features of their ill-fated gun-to-the-head marriage with Pakistan ever since this nation was occupied in 1948 by British-created Pakistan. At times the protests display poetic flourishes, such as the protest signs held in this first ever South Asia anti-nuke protest in Quetta led by Professor Naela Qadri in 1998. Naela’s poster reads “Balochistan grows flowers, not atomic bombs.”

I am writing to you with deep grief and heartache to convey the message of Baloch mothers, a mother’s absorbent heart can understand much by saying less from a mother’s aching heart. Our fourteen thousand loved ones including our daughters are abducted by Pakistan and Iran, we have received one thousand mutilated bodies of our gems like sons in last two years and this is a continuous daily base routine, their beloved bodies had uncountable wounds of severe torture, our women and children are facing deaths due to bombardment on our civil populations, burning alive in their homes, poisoning of water resources, state control on mobility and supplies of food and medicines. We understand this is painful for you but may be shocking to know that all this is baked and backed by China.
