TO appease India, Pakistan removed pro-Khalistan Gopal Singh Chawla, general-secretary of Pakistan-Sikh Gurdwara Parbhandak Committee.

But there is no let-up in the global anti-Pakistan propaganda from Dr Naila Baloch’s ‘Free Balochistan’ office working in New Delhi since June 23, 2018.

She sponsored offensive posters on taxi cabs and buses in Switzerland and Britain. The US has recently outlawed the Balochistan Liberation Army.

However, earlier, in 2012, a handful of Republicans had moved a pro-separatist bill in US Congress. It demanded ‘the right to self-determination’ and ‘opportunity to choose their own status’ for people of Balochistan.

Pakistan caught a serving Indian navy officer Kalbushan Jhadav (pseudonym Mubarak Ali) to foment insurgency in Balochistan.

Indian investigative journalists Karan Thapar and Praveen Swami traced Jhadav’s RAW nexus and pointed out that he was a serving officer. India’s security czar, Ajit Doval, publicly claims that he acted as a spy under a pseudonym in Pakistan for 11 years.

India should stop its evil machinations in Pakistan and instead solve differences through talks.
