Statement on the Massacre of Workers in Balochistan and the Conspiracy Against the Baloch National Liberation Movement

The brutal incident in Sar Dhaka, Loralai district, Balochistan, where passengers were forcibly removed from buses and martyred in a barbaric manner akin to mourners, is a human tragedy. In this bloodbath, innocent passengers from Lahore, Gujrat, Khanewal, Gujranwala, Lodhran, and Muzaffargarh were killed. This is not an isolated incident but another sinister conspiracy to defame the Baloch people's struggle for freedom against state oppression and an exploitative system.

The killing of Punjab's workers and ordinary citizens cannot be the objective of any revolutionary or national liberation movement. Such acts can only be orchestrated by elements seeking to weaken the Baloch struggle by portraying it as terrorism. We make it clear that the working masses, whether from Punjab or Balochistan, belong to the same class. Those who sow hatred between them are, in reality, protectors of the capitalist system, aiming to strengthen their dominance by pitting workers and oppressed nationalities against each other.

The real enemy is the one who turns Punjab's workers against the Baloch and the Baloch against Punjab's workers. State terrorism provides justification for individual terrorism, and individual terrorism, in turn, legitimizes state terrorism. Both serve to perpetuate this exploitative system in their own way.

We express solidarity with the families of the martyrs from Punjab and demand the following:  
1. A transparent investigation into this incident and punishment for those responsible.  
2. The state must recognize the legitimate political rights of the Baloch people and end military violence against them.  
3. The workers of Punjab and Balochistan must unite to struggle against the exploitative system that keeps both communities mired in poverty and oppression.

This massacre is a violation of human rights, and we call upon all progressive forces to condemn it and form a united front against oppression.

Long live the unity of oppressed nationalities and workers! 
Down with the capitalist system!  
Down with individual and state terrorism!
