Pakistan Cracks Down On Baloch Leader Who Cheered Prime Minister Narendra Modi

IANS, 02 Sep, 2016 01:38 PM
    Pakistan has approached the Interpol to help secure the arrest of Baloch leader Brahamdagh Bugti after he appreciated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his 15th August speech.
     
    Mr Bugti, who is the grandson of Nawaz Akbar Khan Bugti is currently living in Switzerland, after escaping prosecution in Pakistan. The death of Akbar Bugti in 2006 during Pakistan army operations had angered the entire Baloch community.
     
    Pakistan's Interior Ministry has started the process of acquiring identification documents of Mr Bugti in order to complete the Red Notice application requirements for Interpol.
     
    Last week police in Pakistan had slapped charges of sedition against five Baloch leaders including Mr Bugti, declaring him a wanted man.
     
     
    A Red Corner notice could force Switzerland ask Mr Bugti to leave the country where he has lived in exile. Pakistan does not have an extradition treaty with Switzerland.  
     
    According to details already submitted by Pakistan police to the interior ministry, Mr Bugti has been accused of plotting against Pakistan and running a banned organization, the Baloch Republican Party.
     
    The organization's armed wing, the Balochistan Republican Army is blamed for several strikes on the Pakistan Army and paramilitary forces operating in Balochistan.
     
     
    Mr Bugti has been living in Switzerland with his two wives, Laila Bibi and Shuli Bibi, and four children. While he had sought political asylum in 2011, the Swiss government turned down his request earlier this year citing Islamabad's objections.
