Karachi. The hunger strike camp of families of Baloch disappeared entered 1094 day in total and 114 days in Karachi. People form every walk of life visited the camp and expressed solidarity with the families of Baloch missing persons. The chairman of VBMP, Mama Qadeer, while talking to the visitors said that Baloch are laying their lives to regain their lost sovereignty since 27 March 1948 the day when Balochistan was occupied by Pakistan. “Balochistan is the region where Baloch have been living for thousands of years that’s why it is called Balochistan but the occupiers changed its name to Kalat. Balochistan was a separate state like its neighbours Afghanistan, Iran and India. History is witness that Balochistan political borders and its constitution was drawn by Mir Naseer Khan Noori and it was the Baloch code of ethics and traditions, which was accepted as national constitution of Balochistan,” he added. He further said that hundreds of Baloch fought and laid their lives to protect Baloch land from British imperialists from 1800 – 1900 and regained their sovereignty on 11 August 1947 but due to the lack of international support once again Balochistan was occupied by the newly created state of Pakistan. Qadeer Baloch said Pakistan imposed Indian and Punjabi traditions on Baloch. It is the history of Baloch that whenever there is external invasion Baloch raises as one and has defeated many super powers in the past. In 1948 after occupation of Balochistan Agha Abdul Karim khan followed the footsteps of our ancestors and stood against Pakistan to free Balochistan. Today’s struggle is continuity of struggle of Agha Abdul Karim Khan.
