Baloch activists hold protest against China-Pak nexus

Baloch activists, protesting in front of the Chinese Embassy in London against the China-Pakistan nexus in Balochistan, have vowed to never accept the contracts signed between Beijing and Islamabad to plunder the resource-rich province. The Free Balochistan Movement (FBM), which had been protesting in front of the Chinese Embassy since the 25th of last month said in a statement that Balochistan is not Pakistan. <br/><br/>FBM said, deals with Pakistan, where Baloch have no influence, where Baloch resources are plundered and where there is heavy military presence by an occupying state can only lead to conflict. The contracts signed by the Punjabi Muslim army of Pakistan and the Chinese Government in respect of Baloch resources and ports, in Balochistan, are illegal, it said. <br/><br/>The group had launched its week-long protest, which ended yesterday, as part of what they described as a peaceful campaign against the China-Pakistan nexus in Balochistan. FBM activists organised sit-ins in front of the Chinese Embassy for six days and ended with a demonstration on 1st of this month, to coincide with China's National Day.<br/><br/>Baloch people have not taken part in these deals and have never accepted them and will never consider them as legitimate, the statement added. The activists carried placards reading Balochistan is not Pakistan and chanted anti-Pakistan slogans as part of the demonstration.
