This is a new position by India so I'm just going to wait until I see more of the policy. IMHO its most likely a token to whatever interests they have in Pakistani Balochistan (please nobody discuss this particular part with me, I am not learned in Pakistan-India affairs). But if they want to annoy us, then they should know that Iran puts down (literally) these terrorists and separatists on a regular basis.
I wont discuss but I sure will inform you that India will increasingly use the Balochistan issue to try and deflect attention from the grave human rights violations it is committing in Kashmir. The problem is Balochistan and Sistan-Baluchistan simply cannot be seperated. Every time India will use the issue of Balochistan for the aforementioned deflection, it will at the same time also draw international attention to the whole wider Balochistan region, not just the Pakistani province. India is also increasingly becoming good friends with Israel, and the Israelis for sure will not miss a chance to destablize this region. Western media will therefore cover on an increasing basis Balochistan on both sides of the border every time India uses this strategy.
The guy asking for Israeli help below either already has or recently has applied for Indian citizenship.
See his views:
Brahumdagh Bugti is curious about politics and history and listens attentively to discussions. In a recent interview with an Israel News Talk Radio station, he expressed the hope that Israel will support his people’s struggle for a free and peaceful Balochistan in southwest Asia.

Note: the usage of the geographic term southwest Asia which traditionally means Iran more than Pakistan (Pakistan being South Asia).
I can understand that Iran does not want to get dragged into India-Pakistan issues just as we do not want to get dragged into Arab-Iranian issues. However in the case of this new Indian policy of using Balochistan to try and deflect attention from Kashmir, I personally think Iran should tell India to stay within its limits. Unlike Kashmir, the Pakistani and Iranian provinces in the Balochistan region are not disputed. Also poverty, drug trade and smuggling are far more bigger issues on both sides of the border than in Kashmir where an actual war of independence is going on (and 80 + thousand people have died in the past two decades).
