Meanwhile, a Punjabi soldier has exposed the Pakistan Army. He said that he has seen the massacre happening in front of his eyes, which makes it clear that the claims of the Pak Army may be false. Let us know in detail what this whole matter is.
Pakistani army claims: All hostages freed, 33 BLA rebels killed
The Pakistan Army claimed that it killed all the terrorists who hijacked the Jaffar Express train in Balochistan and rescued all the hostages. The army says it was a successful operation in which 33 BLA insurgents were killed.
According to the spokesperson of the Pakistan Army, this operation was carried out in the Boli area of Balochistan, where the army surrounded the terrorists and killed all of them one by one. The army also claims that it has safely evacuated all the hostages and has again taken the train under its control.
BLA claims: More than 150 people are still hostages
While the Pakistani army is claiming its success, the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has told a different story. The BLA said that it still has more than 150 people hostage.
BLA alleged that the Pakistani army is trying to hide the truth and is hiding the real picture from the world. The spokesperson of the organization said that despite the army’s attack, its fighters are still alive and they have refused to release the hostages.
Punjabi soldier reveals: “I saw the massacre before my eyes”
In this entire incident, a statement of a Punjabi soldier has come to light, which has exposed the Pakistani army. This Punjabi soldier who was held hostage during the hijacking of the Jaffar Express said that he saw 50-60 people die with his own eyes.
In the video shared by Bolan News, this Punjabi soldier is saying that he saw BLA fighters killing hostages. This statement of the soldier has raised questions on the claims of the Pakistani army, as the army did not say that there were any civilian casualties.
21 people killed during train capture
According to reports, when the Zafar Express was captured by BLA fighters, there were a total of 440 passengers on board the train. 21 passengers were killed during the attack, including 4 Pakistani soldiers.
Following this, the Pakistan Army launched an operation and freed more than 200 hostages. Earlier, on Wednesday, the BLA had released more than 150 people.
Why are violent incidents increasing in Balochistan?
Balochistan has long been a troubled region for Pakistan. Baloch separatist organizations, especially the BLA, are demanding independence from Pakistan. They allege that the Pakistani government and army are oppressing the Baloch people and exploiting their natural resources.
BLA has been fighting against the Pakistani army and government for the past several years and has carried out several major attacks. The hijacking of the Jaffar Express train is also believed to be a part of this series.
Pakistan government’s failure exposed
This incident has exposed the failure of the security system of the Pakistani government and army. It shows that Pakistan is now becoming weak in front of terrorists in its own country.
Experts believe that the strength of the Baloch rebels is constantly increasing and the Pakistan government is proving unsuccessful in stopping them. International pressure on Pakistan may also increase after this incident, as it shows the seriousness of its internal situation.
International response
There is a reaction to this incident at the international level as well. Many human rights organizations have demanded Pakistan to clarify the situation. At the same time, other neighboring countries including India are also keeping an eye on this incident.
China, a staunch friend of Pakistan, may also be concerned about its economic investments in Balochistan as it has several projects running there, which have been attacked by BLA in the past.
The Jaffar Express hijacking case has created a serious crisis for Pakistan.
- The Pakistani Army says it rescued all the hostages and killed 33 insurgents.
- BLA claims that more than 150 people are still in its custody.
- A Punjabi soldier said he saw 50-60 people killed, exposing the lies of the Pak army.
What is the truth in this whole matter is not yet completely clear. But it is certain that this incident reflects a major failure of Pakistan’s security system and can give more strength to the Baloch separatist movement.
