It must be remembered that Pakistan is bracing itself for national elections in Balochistan on May 11 but the state security forces and pro-Pakistan parliamentary Baloch are facing heaving resistance from the Baloch people to boycott the Pakistani election. The Baloch people, in different international news channels including Aljazeera and BBC Urdu, have expressed their hatred for Pakistani elections and announced to support the boycott call of Baloch pro-freedom parties and leaders.
All pro-freedom Baloch political parties, student organisations and leaders have boycotted the Pakistani elections in Balochistan and vowed to disturb election by staying at their home on the day of election. On the other hand the armed Baloch organisations, who are widely known as the Sarmachars – freedom fighters, have threatened to bring further intensity in their attacks. They appealed the people of Balochistan to stay away from Pakistani election process in occupied Baloch land.
