Pakistan’s army and government are currently in deep trouble due to the continuous attacks by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) of Balochistan. The situation has become so uncontrollable that Pakistani Army Chief General Asim Munir is now seen begging for help from neighboring country Iran to deal with this internal and external threat. The aggressive attitude of Baloch freedom fighters and the continuous military challenges have given sleepless nights to the Pakistani rulers. The burning fire of insurgency in Balochistan and the growing fear of BLA has exposed Pakistan’s security system, causing panic in the Shahbaz Sharif government and the army headquarters.
Deepening crisis in Balochistan and increasing power of BLA
Balochistan has been raising its voice against Pakistan’s repressive attitude for a long time, but the way the Baloch Liberation Army has strengthened its strategic hold in the last few months, it has shocked the Pakistani security forces. BLA fighters are continuously targeting Pakistani Army positions, military convoys and strategic infrastructure. Despite the Pakistani Army’s best efforts and brutal repression, the morale of Baloch rebels is not diminishing. The situation is such that it has become difficult for the Pakistani Army to reach many areas of Balochistan, due to which both the government and the army there appear completely helpless.
General Asim Munir’s helplessness and diplomatic pleading in front of Iran
Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir, who has become helpless in the face of continuous losses of his army and Baloch rebels, has now decided to take refuge in Iran to save his reputation. Balochistan also shares a border with Iran, and the Pakistani Army knows that it is not within its power to crush the BLA network without regional support. According to reports, Asim Munir extended his hand to Tehran and appealed for intelligence sharing against Baloch insurgents and joint action in the border areas. Pakistan, which once flaunted its threat and nuclear power, has today become so helpless in front of a rebel organization that it has to plead before other countries.
Impact on regional diplomacy and Iran’s stance
The whole world is keeping a close eye on Iran’s stance on Pakistan’s appeal. There is already an atmosphere of tension and mistrust between the two countries regarding border security and the movement of Baloch refugees or insurgents. Iran knows very well that Pakistan itself is responsible for its internal mismanagement and the atrocities committed on the people of Balochistan. In such a situation, only time will tell whether Tehran will openly stand on the side of Pakistan Army or will maintain distance while serving its diplomatic interests. However, it is certain that this panic and helplessness of General Asim Munir is a strong proof that Pakistan has now become hollow from within.
Fear of disintegration of Pakistan and growing concern on international forums
This smoldering conflict in Balochistan is not limited to Pakistan only, but it has also created a stir in the geopolitics of South Asia. Human rights organizations have been continuously exposing the atrocities committed by the Pakistani Army on Baloch civilians. Experts around the world have now started believing that Pakistan’s repressive policies will be the biggest reason for its disintegration. The increasing fear of BLA and the failure of Pakistani Army on every front is an indication that Pakistan’s internal crisis may deepen further in the coming days, due to which the future of not only Army Chief Asim Munir but the entire Pakistani system is in danger.
