Pakistan Passenger Train Hijacked: BLA Rebels Group Takes Hundreds Hostage!

New Delhi: 

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) which seeks independence for Balochistan from Pakistan in a statement said it took control of a train and kept hundreds of passengers hostage. Six Pakistani military personnel were also killed, the BLA said.

The Jaffar express, with over 400 passengers on board in nine bogies, was on its way from Quetta in Pakistan’s southwestern Balochistan province to Peshawar in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa when it was fired on, railway officials told news agency Reuters.

The BLA in a statement signed by its spokesperson Jeeyand Baloch said the hostages will be killed if Pakistani forces launch an operation.

The BLA fighters blew the railway tracks and forced the train to stop, after which they boarded it.

“Any military incursion will be met with an equally forceful response. So far, six military personnel have been killed, and hundreds of passengers remain under BLA custody. The Baloch Liberation Army takes full responsibility for this operation,” the BLA spokesperson said in the statement shared on social media.

Security forces had reached the site of the incident, in the Mushqaf area of the Bolan district of Balochistan, a railway official said.

The Balochistan government has imposed emergency measures and all institutions have been mobilised to deal with the situation, government spokesperson Shahid Rind said.

A decades-long insurgency in Balochistan by separatist militant groups has led to frequent attacks against the Pakistani government, army and Chinese interests in the region, pressing demands for a share in mineral-rich resources.

The BLA is the biggest of several ethnic insurgent groups that have battled the Pakistani government for decades, saying it unfairly exploits Balochistan’s rich gas and mineral resources.

Although Balochistan is the largest province of Pakistan by area, covering nearly 44 per cent of the country’s total landmass, it is the least populated province. The province is home to one of the world’s largest deep-sea ports in Gwadar, which Pakistan says is strategically significant for both regional and global trade routes.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
