BLA social media head succumbs to amnesty bill

Author: Web Desk

QUETTA: During a ceremony arranged by the Frontier Corps, former social media supervisor for the banned Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) surrendered to the state.

The social media supervisor Balakh Sher Badeni had joined BLA as a young boy. The ceremony took place on Monday at FC Madadgar Centre. The Baloch Interior Minister Sarfraz Bugti and the Balochistan government’s spokesperson were among the attendees.

Addressing the ceremony, Bugti said, “Balochistan is an integral part of Pakistan, law and order in the province has improved. But it needs further improvement.”

Hundreds of Baloch militants have laid down their weapons in recent months after the government announced general amnesty for them. The government had promised financial backing to the youth who laid down their weapons and deserted acts of violence against the country. In April last year, at least 144 Baloch militants surrendered their weapons after accepting the government’s amnesty offer.
