This forum is so childish at times. Why are some of you having a panic attack. If they indeed opened an office, it just taints the "Balochistan movement", which in reality us a joke which Tarek Fatah even admits...when certain politicians get elected into the Balochistan PA, those in exile become "friends"...the second they lose power, they revert back to "independence".
Take for example Dr. Wahid Baloch in Washington. When BNP formed an alliance with PMLN, all of a sudden he reverted from being a "Baloch independence activist" to a "Pakistani federalist". When BNP lost power, he reverted back.
Mustikhan on the otherhand has now warmed to the idea of autonomy within the federation and a former independence activist in Russia is now a federalist.
Why do you think Mustikhan ripped into India anyway? The reality is the Balochistan movenent is dysfunctional and irrelevant....it's pretty much a Twitter movement.
The simple response would be exactly what the FO said. End of discussion.
Responding by getting involved in the 2nd wave Khalistan movement is exactly what India wants. Stay away...it's a grassroots Punjabi movement being fuelled by the diaspora...let's not bring it any disrepute.
Already India is claiming that the August 12th Khalistan declaration at Trafalgar Square is being organized by the ISI.
LoL.
