QUETTA, May 9: The leadership of the Baloch National Movement has called on political groups in the province, nationalists, tribal elders, religious figures, student organizations, merchants, small farmers, labourers , peasants and fishermen to establish a united front to resist usurpers who were looting Balochi resources.

Speaking at a news conference in the press club on Sunday, the Central President of the Baloch National Movement Ghulam Muhammad Baloch claimed that Baloch forces could frustrate the designs of the oppressors if they struggle collectively with the spirit of national reconciliation to achieve their own national rights.

He announced that denying the right of national rule was the root cause of the conflict between Punjab's exploiters and the oppressed Balochs adding that during the last five decades the oppressors have committed excesses to suppress the Baloch national struggle, and to maintain "domination on us."
