During the 34th UN session, BRP representative at UNHRC, in his statement at UN urged world to raise voice against continuous oppression of Baloch people in Balochistan and International community should speak on Balochistan’s issue before it’s too late. During his last speech in the session, Abdul Nawaz Bugti of Baloch Republican Party was interrupted by a representative of Pakistani government when he was talking about so-called China Pakistan Economic Corridor. China also supported Pakistan’s stance & asked the council to expunge BRP representative’s remarks. Delegation of United States of America,United Kingdom, Norway, Netherland and Canada rejected the point of order by Pakistan and China and allowed the BRP representative to complete his statement. Pakistani delegation interrupted for the second time but the US delegation backed Abdul Nawaz Bugti & he was allowed to conclude his speech.
Abdul Nawaz Bugti said in his statement that Pakistan and China claim to bring development in the name of CPEC, but is proving to be a map of death and destruction for Baloch and Balochistan. “Since the agreements between China and Pakistan in 2015, hundreds of thousands of Baloch people have been forcefully displaced from their hometowns along the CPEC route. 12,000 army personnel deployed on the security are basically paving the way for CPEC by massacring or displacing the local populace.” he said
He further said that same was happening in Dera Bugti region where Chinese and Pakistani companies are busy deep-welling for gas reserves. Gas is being exploited and taken away since 1950s while locals living within 10 kilometers of the gas plants are deprived of it and other basic facilities of life.
Concluding his statement, he said that Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif during his recent visit to Gwadar said that he was making Gwadar the “Tiger of Pakistan” through CPEC. Adding “Mr. President, i agree that CPEC is the tiger of Pakistan. A tiger that is attacking and eating our children. Please save us”
