Exiled leader Brahamdagh Bugti, heading the movement in Balochistan, on Tuesday approached the Indian Embassy in Geneva seeking asylum and exuded confidence of a positive response from New Delhi. “I went to the Indian embassy and held talks with Indian officials about it (asylum). The exiled leader is the grandson of Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti who was killed by Pakistani forces 10 years ago. On Monday, the Baloch leader had appealed to India to come out with a policy initiative so that people facing “atrocities” in Balochistan can come and feel secure in India. He said many more Baloch leaders may seek asylum in India and added “we will see who all will need asylum (in India)”.
