In a letter written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Baloch openly praised the country’s collective success in confronting and overcoming “Pakistan’s military and psychological aggression”.

In the letter, which was also posted on X, he wrote, “We, the 60 million Baloch people of the Republic of Balochistan, extend our heartfelt message to our 1.4 billion Indian brothers and sisters. On the occasion of today’s parliamentary debate on Operation Sindoor, we express our profound admiration for the unwavering unity of the Indian people, the resolute and principled stance of the Government of India against Pakistan’s state-sponsored terrorism, and the visionary decision by the opposition to stand in solidarity with the government and armed forces at this critical juncture.”

In the letter, the copy of which was also marked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, the Baloch human right activist said in the aftermath of the temporary pause in Operation Sindoor, Pakistan’s occupying forces have unleashed a renewed wave of brutality upon the people of Balochistan.

“These actions are a direct reprisal for the principled stance of the Baloch people, who have chosen to stand in solidarity with the citizens of India. Our letter is a powerful reminder of India’s role in standing up for oppressed people and resisting tyranny in our neighborhood. The Baloch people have consistently looked toward India as a beacon of hope, and their unwavering support for our sovereignty, particularly during events like Operation Sindoor, deserves a principled response from your leadership,” read the letter.

He further stated that ever since Balochistan became part of Pakistan, the Baloch population has endured unimaginable suffering, mass abductions, extrajudicial killings, aerial bombardments, and systemic cultural repression.

Addressing the Lok Sabha speaker, Mir Yar Baloch said that a free Balochistan would end Pakistan’s access to the Arabian Sea via Gwadar and disrupt the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a direct threat to India’s sovereignty and security.

“The Baloch oppose the same terrorist groups that target India. The Baloch people have demonstrated immense courage in their fight against colonial rule of Pakistan. It is time India reciprocates with open support, not just out of strategic necessity, but out of moral duty,” he said in the letter.
