ISLAMABAD: Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad is successfully continuing across the country as at least 20 insurgents including a Ferrari commander surrendered to Pakistan Rangers Punjab on Tuesday, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
The erstwhile militants said they were funded by Indian spy agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) through Brahamdagh Bugti who leads the Balochistan Republican Party (BRP).
Apologising for their past which was awash with terror activities in Balochistan, the surrendering insurgents said they were kept misinformed and fed with negative narrative over the decades, the ISPR statement added.
“By design, people of Balochistan, living in far-flung areas were kept aloof,” the military’s media wing quoted them as saying. The former insurgents also expressed their intentions to now live a normal and peaceful life and contribute to the prosperity of Pakistan, appealing to other militants to surrender as well.
Following the development, Director General Pakistan Rangers Punjab Major General Azhar Naveed Hayat Khan lauded the law enforcers for their efforts in the ongoing operations.
Last month, as many as 14 Baloch militants had given up their arms and renounced violence. The former separatists – belonged to the Balochistan Liberation Army, United Baloch Army and Baloch Republican Army (BRA) – had pledged loyalty to Pakistan and announced they are disassociating with their leaders who are believed to be running the groups from abroad.
