Following the Balochistan train hijack by the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA), a debate has triggered whether India could potentially play a key role in liberating Balochistan from Pakistan, with experts comparing the scenario with the 1971 Bangladesh war of liberation.

The DG ISPR commended the Pakistan Army, Special Services Group, Law Enforcement Agencies and FC for conducting the operation with utmost precision and caution. He mentioned that not a single causality happened during the conduct of the operation. He said some passengers were martyred before the launch of the operation by the security forces.

The army on Friday traced a strong nexus between India, the terrorist group and its handlers operating from Afghanistan via satellite phones behind the hijacking of Jaffer Express.

India has rejected Pakistan's allegations that New Delhi is behind the violence in the neighbouring country where the latest in a series of bloodshed is a train hijacking by the Baloch rebels.

Islamabad should “look inwards” instead of pointing fingers and shifting blame, India said in its first official comment after an attack on a Quetta-Peshawar train by the Baloch Liberation Army left 21 passengers dead.
