GWADAR: Dr Mahrang Baloch, the Baloch Yakjehti Committee leader, has said the BYC’s struggle aims to stop injustice againts “our people” and to end “atrocities being committed against them”.

Addressing a gathering in Panjgur on Saturday, she called upon the Baloch to “unite for defending our motherland and its resources”.

Despite facing the alleged violent action by the security forces, the Baloch have proved that they are determined to stand up for their rights, Dr Mahrang said.

“The people participating in Baloch Rajee Muchi should pledge that they will not allow the blood of martyrs go in vain,” she said.

The BYC leader called for “social boycott” of those Baloch who were not supporting “our struggle for rights”. “The Baloch never betray their own people and always honour their traditions.”

She called upon all Baloch to educate their children and make efforts for educating others as well.
