Pakistani police have registered five cases against Baloch nationalist leaders, including Brahamdagh Bugti, for allegedly supporting Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks on the restive province, officials said on Monday. The cases were registered against Bugti, Hyrbyair Marri and Karima Baloch at five police stations in Khuzdar area, police officials said. Baloch Republican Party president Brahamdagh Bugti lives in Europe, Marri is based in London and Baloch Students Organisation-Azad leader Karima Baloch fled last year to Canada, where she has applied for refugee status. “Brahamdagh Bugti is involved in anti-state activities in Balochistan at the behest of Modi and his country’s spy agency RAW,” he said. He further alleged that the Indian government “is deeply involved in sponsoring” Baloch nationalist leaders such as Brahamdagh Bugti, Harbiyar Marri, Zamran Marri and Allah Nazar.
