UN's aim is to protect strong nations, says Balochistan leader

Geneva, Dec 12 (JEN): Unhappy with UN inaction over certain matters taking place in the recent past, exiled Baloch leader Brahumdagh Bugti slammed the organisation for its lack of help towards the plight of his people.

Bugti took to Twitter to vent ire against the United Nations.

"I think we have to stop asking for help from international community and United Nation. UN,s aim is to protect the interests of strong nations. If u r poor then it’s very hard to enter in United Nation," (sic) his tweet read.

The president of Baloch Republican Party (BRP), Bugti was declined asylum by Switzerland, where he resided for over six years.

Visibly hurt, he had questioned Switzerland's morals, asking why a neutral country fell for Pakistan's version of the story.

"I am the president of Baloch Republican Party and we believe in political means of struggle. In order to counter our political struggle for rights, Pakistan has always used fake allegations of terrorism against us," he said.

Pointing out the irony that exists in Pakistan, the exiled leader said, "I am still the most wanted person in Pakistan while top terrorists like Osama Bin laden, Hafiz Saeed were being protected & facilitated by the Pakistan Army. Switzerland must consider these facts before considering Pakistani allegations against us," he said.

These tweets brought in angry reactions from other prominent Twitter users.

Canadian rights activist and columnist Tarek Fatah said, "This is the work of China and Pakistan hellbent on marauding and looting the resources of Balochistan by attacking the exiled leadership of the Baloch people. Do not despair Brahumdagh @bBugti. We are all with you. So what if the Swiss sold you out."

A few days ago, Bugti accused the 'civilized world' of encouraging Pakistan by keeping quiet.

"Pakistani forces continue their ruthless operations against civilians in Balochistan. Ten more innocents have been killed & 60 civilians, mostly women and children, abducted from Mashkay within past few days. Silence of the civilized world encourages this to continue," he said.
