The prince of the defunct Kalat state and chief of the Baloch Rabita Ittefaq Tehreek, Prince Mohyuddin Baloch, has reportedly cautioned the Pakistani government that if it failed to resolve the Balochistan issue by the end of 2015 and meet the aspirations of the people, it will lose all control over the situation.

The prince warned at a press conference that the regime had so far managed to restrain the "disgruntled public" but after Dec 31, 2015, the situation will get out of control and the rulers will no more be in a position to do anything to reverse it. He added that they will be forced to allow Baloch people to resort to any course they please after the end of the year, reported the Dawn.

 

He added that the at least 5,000 children had been killed so far and about 10,000 people had been abducted but no one should think that the resistance had been crushed.

The prince who served as federal minister in military ruler General Ziaul Haq's regime said that his father had attached his autonomous state to Pakistan on the advice of the Quaid-i-Azam and in the hope that a big Islamic state was in the making. However, after joining Pakistan, Balochistan lost everything and was "grossly neglected" by the new state, he complained.
