A pro-Israel think tank, the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), has launched the Balochistan Studies Project on its website.
The sinister radiations of this plan are too obvious to ignore.
Content uploaded on the website directly hurts the interests of Pakistan as well as Iran, clearly manifesting the evil nexus of India and Israel.
The appointment of a known Indian pawn and pro-terrorist person like Mir Yar Baloch as an advisor for the project reflects the ill intentions of the think tank.
Content revolving around separatist rhetoric under the so-called Balochistan Studies Project further discloses the Indian involvement in ongoing terrorism of banned BLA and BLF.
It has the undeniable backing of a pro-Israel think tank – which means commonality of goals between India and Israel.
India has long been exposed for supporting terrorist proxies in Balochistan, as evident from RAW’s documented links with BLA and other separatist outfits.
In this context, the MEMRI project is also a continuation of the hybrid warfare strategy in an academic disguise.
This disruptive conspiracy deliberately amplifies fringe voices that support insurgency and terrorism, totally disregarding the democratic processes, development efforts and grassroots engagements taking place in Balochistan.
It is part of a larger disinformation network targeting Pakistan’s internal cohesion, particularly at a time when national integration and strategic initiatives like CPEC are progressing.
Many pricking questions are still unanswered: why does a Washington-based think tank, founded by Yigal Carmon (a former Israeli Intelligence officer), initiate the “Balochistan Studies Project” on 12 June 2025 and meaningfully appoint Mir Yar Baloch in an advisory role?
This man is known for supporting the banned BLA, anti-Pakistan rant and pro-India stance.
This seems the only significant qualification for appointment as an advisor in a malicious anti-Pakistan project.
This digital ghost is not a voice for the people of Balochistan; it is a carefully crafted persona in a sophisticated information war against Pakistan.
The very platform and allied network supporting him represent a textbook case of hybrid warfare designed to exploit national fault lines and undermine the state through digital terrorism, misusing intellectual forums like think tanks.
The real stakeholders of Balochistan desire peace, development, and prosperity as the citizens of Pakistan.
They face challenges, which the state and its people are committed to resolve through dialogue and development.
The manufactured voices of foreign-sponsored terrorists and their digital mouthpieces like “Mir Yar Baloch” only seek to sabotage this progress.
They thrive on conflict, not resolution.
Enemies are no longer challenging us at the borders; it is on our screens, attempting to poison our minds.
We must see this for what it is – the fifth-generation warfare aimed at disintegrating Pakistan.
Pakistanis, and especially our Baloch brothers and sisters, must reject these puppets and their masters.
Our strength lies in our unity and our ability to distinguish between genuine critique and foreign-sponsored sedition.
Pakistan’s future will be determined by its own people, not by intelligence fronts operating from foreign capitals including New Delhi.
The nexus of Tel Aviv and New Delhi poses multiple threats to regional stability.
The initiation of war by Israel in the Middle East and blatant support of the Modi regime is another undeniable evidence of looming threats.
