Exiled Baloch leader Brahamdagh Bugti, who is leading the Baloch movement against Pakistan, on Monday said he will apply for asylum in India this week and many other leaders from Balochistan may follow suit.
The leader of Baloch Republican Party (BRP) also said his party will approach International Criminal Court against former and current Pakistani Army Generals including Pervez Musharraf, Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and Raheel Sharif besides top brass of ISI for the atrocities on people of Balochistan.
Giving details of decisions taken at BRP’s Central Committee meeting today, Bugti said the party will seek help of India, Afghanistan and Bangladesh to file a case against China at the International Court of Justice as Beijing was “involved” along with Pakistan in unleashing violence on Baloch people.
Bugti, the grandson of Baloch nationalist leader Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti who was killed by Pakistan forces 10 years ago, said he will file the asylum application to the Indian government through the country’s embassy here within next 3-4 days.
“We have decided to formally file asylum papers to Indian Government soon. We will follow the legal process for the application,” Bugti told reporters here. He is currently living in exile in Switzerland.
The BRP leader appealed to India to come out with a policy initiative so that people facing “atrocities” in Balochistan can come and feel secure in India. He said many more Baloch leaders may seek asylum in India and added “we will see who all will need asylum (in India)”.
