The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for taking several Pakistani military personnel and intelligence agents hostage. According to the BLA, the individuals taken captive are prisoners of war, and the group has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Pakistani government for their unconditional release. The BLA has also stressed that no civilian was harmed during this operation, with only military and intelligence personnel targeted. The group’s demand is clear: the release of its activists, political prisoners, fighters, and separatist leaders from various Pakistani jails, and the cessation of Pakistani military and Chinese intervention in Balochistan. BLA's actions are part of their long-standing struggle for Balochistan's independence, where they accuse Pakistan of exploiting the region and its people. The Pakistani government has been under pressure to negotiate, but so far, there has been no successful communication between the BLA and the Pakistani military. The hostage situation has escalated, with BLA threatening to kill five hostages every hour if their demands are not met. Meanwhile, reports from Pakistan’s media suggest that the mastermind behind the hijacking might be linked to Afghanistan. While the situation remains tense, the BLA continues to assert its position, with the Pakistani military struggling to regain control and secure the release of their personnel.

00:00Yesterday, Baloch Liberation Army, i.e. the boys of BLA, hijacked the Jaffar Express train in Pakistan.
00:07And now, even after more than 20 hours, this problem is still prevalent in Pakistan.
00:15After the hijack, now the rescue operation of the passengers is going on in the train.
00:18Yesterday evening, the Jaffar Express was going from Quetta to Peshawar.
00:24When it was hijacked, the operation is being carried out by the Pakistani Air Force to free the prisoners.
00:30Balochistan Liberation Army says that the people who were made prisoners are war prisoners, i.e. prisoners of war.
00:36In return for the prisoners, BLA is asking for the release of the workers, political prisoners, fighters, and al Qawwadi leaders of the Balochistan Liberation Army who are locked up in different jails in Pakistan.
00:49For this, BLA has given an ultimatum of 48 hours to the Pakistani government at 10 pm on Tuesday.
00:57So, till 10 pm, this 48-hour ultimatum to the Pakistani government, which has been given by BLA and also cleared by BLA, their decision will not change.
01:06On the other hand, big news about the train hijack in Pakistan, 104 prisoners have been released from Jaffar Express.
01:14214 citizens are still locked up in this train.
01:19But the Pakistani Army and the Balochistan Liberation Army have different claims about the release of the prisoners.
01:24The Pakistani Army says that the prisoners have been released in the rescue operation.
01:28On the other hand, Baloch Liberation Army says that they have released the common citizens themselves.
01:34On the other hand, Balochistan Liberation Army has different claims about the fighters.
01:38The Pakistani Army says that 16 BLA fighters have been killed in the operation.
01:43But BLA says that not a single fighter has been killed.
02:14Then they told me to leave.
02:20We have two friends with us.
02:23Vishal Pandey is with us and Ashish Kumar Singh is also with us.
02:27First, let's go to Vishal and get to know him.
02:30What is the latest update and what efforts are being made by the Pakistani establishment?
02:38Because it seems that BLA will not have customers until all their demands are met.
02:42It is clear from BLA that the Pakistani Army and ISI agents are still locked up.
02:53BLA has still kept them in its custody.
02:56BLA has released the common citizens.
02:58However, BLA has failed to carry out ground operations from Pakistan.
03:04Pakistan has not been able to have a direct conversation with BLA.
03:10Pakistan's Prime Minister has tweeted that BLA is taking action on them.
03:15Pakistan's army will take action on them.
03:17But still, a large number of Pakistani army and ISI agents are in BLA's custody.
03:23Because the Baloch Liberation Army has had a lot of old claims.
03:28Especially, the way Pakistan has imprisoned its people, BLA has been asked to release them.
03:35And BLA has said that Pakistan and China's torture should be reduced from its territory.
03:40They should be released.
03:42BLA has said that Balochistan has been asking for a separate country for a long time.
03:48In such circumstances, BLA has certainly given a message to Pakistan.
03:52The way they have given permission to China to enter Balochistan.
03:56And Pakistan's army used to torture the local people there.
04:00There was a lot of anger in BLA.
04:03We have been reporting since yesterday that BLA has released the common people.
04:07They have not been targeted at all.
04:09But the army and ISI agents in the same train are on BLA's target.
04:14And they are still in BLA's custody.
04:16But the number is very high.
04:18214 prisoners are still in BLA's custody.
04:21104 prisoners have been released.
04:24And two different versions are coming out about this.
04:27Like BLA is claiming that it has released these prisoners.
04:32And BLA is claiming that it has released these prisoners.
04:36There are a lot of questions.
04:38But we are not able to come to a conclusion.
04:40Because the world is not being told much from Pakistan.
04:45In the meantime, I will take you to Ashish.
04:47And let's understand from Ashish.
04:49Ashish, there is a humanitarian crisis.
04:51There is a situation of humanitarian crisis.
04:53But Pakistan is cutting its own thread.
04:56This will be said.
04:58Yes, definitely.
05:00Pakistan is cutting its own thread.
05:02And it has been doing it for a long time.
05:04And as far as BLA Balochistan is concerned.
05:07The whole world knows.
05:09How the Pakistani forces are illegally occupying their territory.
05:14That is why the resistance has been going on for a long time.
05:17And now the situation has come to this.
05:19It looks like a film story.
05:21This train has been hijacked since yesterday.
05:23And the Pakistani army has not been able to free its people yet.
05:27The biggest contradiction is that the hostages are the personnel of the Pakistani army.
05:32Look at the threat.
05:34I was reading their latest release.
05:36You must have told the viewers before.
05:38It is a 40-hour ultimatum.
05:40If you do not solve this problem during this time.
05:42And do not release the prisoners of BLA.
05:44Then every hour they will kill 5 hostages.
05:47This kind of threat is still being given to the Pakistani army by BLA.
05:51And as Vishal was saying.
05:53There is no direct communication between the Pakistani army and BLA yet.
05:57The Pakistani army has tried to neutralize them by helicopter and drones.
06:05That has also been completely destroyed.
06:07Otherwise, the way BLA is releasing it with so much courage.
06:11It would not have been releasing it.
06:13So you are absolutely right.
06:15This is a humanitarian crisis.
06:17It is a critical moment.
06:19We will have to see how the Pakistani army can deal with it or not.
06:21And in this moment.
06:23The Pakistani army has been exposed in front of the world.
06:27The weakness of the Pakistani army has come in front of the world.
06:31Because the current situation is that.
06:33The Pakistani army is on its knees in front of the Baloch Liberation Army.
06:38The Pakistani army is unable to do anything.
06:42You can answer this.
06:44But before that, let's tell a big news to the viewers.
06:46The train was hijacked.
06:48But before that, let's tell a big news to the viewers.
06:51The Pakistani media is claiming that the train was hijacked.
06:55The hijacking mastermind in Afghanistan is being told by the Pakistani media.
07:01This is a big news for the Pakistani media that this train hijacked in Pakistan.
07:10Its mastermind is in Afghanistan.
07:12This train is connected to Afghanistan by a hijacked train.
07:16and that mastermind is in contact with the boys of BLA.
07:22Vishal has some more details about this.
07:26Let's take some more details from Vishal.
07:28Vishal, is the name of any organization that is in support of BLA?
07:32Or is it some big leader of BLA who is running this operation in Afghanistan?
07:39Romana, Pakistan and their ISI and army have been working as propaganda masters on many big issues.
07:47If we look at this as a failure, then it is the failure of Pakistan's army and the failure of ISI.
07:52And the biggest thing is that BLA, which is the Baloch Liberation Army,
07:56has been constantly troubled by the atrocities that are happening there.
08:00The people there are troubled.
08:02BLA took this step against that.
08:05BLA has given a big message to Pakistan's army and ISI
08:08that how Pakistan and China's presence in Balochistan,
08:12the atrocities that are happening there,
08:15BLA has tried to give a message against that.
08:19And a large number of Pakistani army and ISI agents are present with them.
08:23Although the Pakistani media is claiming that some people related to Afghanistan can be its mastermind.
08:29Although it has not been confirmed yet.
08:31We have seen since yesterday, Romana, that whether it is the Pakistani media,
08:34or the government of Pakistan, or the army of Pakistan, or the ISI of Pakistan,
08:38they have been silent on this whole issue for hours.
08:41Because this is their biggest insult.
08:44That BLA has taken over their army and ISI agents.
08:49And the big thing is that no common citizen was harmed by BLA in this train hostage situation.
08:57Only the army and ISI agents were targeted.
09:01Although BLA claims that a large number of their soldiers have also been killed by BLA.
09:06Pakistan is also claiming that they have killed people related to BLA.
09:10But it has not been confirmed yet.
09:12But now the Pakistani media is definitely saying that it can be its mastermind in Afghanistan.
09:17But this is simply the failure of the Pakistani army and their ISI.
09:22And BLA, which is very strong in Balochistan, seems to be showing its effect.
09:28Stay with me, I will come back to you.
09:30Let's talk to Ashish Singh.
09:32Ashish, there are news about Pakistan's media that this hijacked wire train,
09:36its mastermind can be in Afghanistan.
09:39So is BLA being pointed towards the support of some other organization and some other terrorist organization
09:46by the Pakistani media?
09:48Is there any information about this?
09:51They must have received information about the Pakistan government.
09:54I am a journalist, I cannot counter this.
09:56It is possible that there is such a nexus across the border with which they are getting support.
10:00But what is the main reason for that?
10:02What is in the core?
10:03That is the resistance.
10:05The resistance of the people of Balochistan for a long time,
10:08the revolt of the people of Balochistan against the Pakistani army and ISI,
10:11that they occupied their land illegally.
10:13They are so ungrateful to them.
10:15They do barbarism about which this struggle has been going on for a long time.
10:18Although no one can justify this act of terror.
10:20For me, the biggest question here is that when we saw in Peshawar, Pakistan,
10:25when we saw that terrorists entered the children of the Pakistani army and killed them.
10:31And now Pakistani personnel were traveling in this train.
10:34You yourself are not able to keep yourself secure.
10:36So how will you keep your country secure?
10:38The answer to the same question that you were raising,
10:40that the Pakistani army has been completely exposed here.
10:43A whole day has passed, hours have passed, and you have still failed to secure your people.
10:48Therefore, I feel that this crisis is a big challenge for Pakistan.
10:53For Shahbaz Sarkar, how will he succeed in getting his people released?
10:56He will negotiate, in which there is a clear condition in the negotiations,
11:01that you release all our political prisoners.
11:03If you don't release them, you will be given a 40-hour ultimatum.
11:06Otherwise, in every hour, he will kill five of his soldiers.
11:09Thank you very much, Ashish, for your guidance and information.
11:12To sum up, this is a matter of great embarrassment for Pakistan,
11:15for the Pakistani army, for the Pakistani government, for the Pakistani establishment.
11:19Right now, the world is witnessing the world of Pakistan,
11:23how a terrorist organization, BLA, has come to its knees in front of it.
11:29How many hours have passed, but Pakistan has still not been able to solve the issue of train hijack.
11:42APPAL NEWS, aapko rakhe aage.
