Let us tell you that Balochistan is the most troubled province of Pakistan. There has been a clash between the Balochs and the Pakistani army here since 1948. The people of Balochistan have been demanding separation from Pakistan for a long time. In the recent past, China's interference in this area has increased. China is working on many projects in this area, due to which they are also being attacked continuously.
What are the demands of BLA?
BLA demands that they should be separated from Pakistan. The most important demand of BLA is that there should not be any representative of the Pakistani government or security agency in Balochistan. Apart from this, the Balochs believe that CPEC projects are going on with China.
Their minerals are being exploited through these projects. A large number of people from the community have been displaced due to these projects.
Summary
Since then, the Baloch people have been demanding the removal of these projects from here for many years. This is not a new attack on Pakistan by BLA, BLA has been carrying out such attacks on Pakistan for the last several years. Sometimes it targets Chinese engineers and sometimes Pakistani diplomats.
