AIR service for Baloch can reach Pak
As proof that India will not back down from its outreach to the restive Pakistani province of Balochistan, the state-run All India Radio is likely to start regular news bulletins in Balochi, said government sources.
​New Delhi: As proof that India will not back down from its outreach to the restive Pakistani province of Balochistan, the state-run All India Radio is likely to start regular news bulletins in Balochi, said government sources.
On the Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stirred the Pakistani government by referring to Balochistan in his address, pointing out that its people were thankful to him for raising the atrocities committed by security forces to check the area's long movement for an independent homeland.
Sources say that the government is considering strengthening the section at All India Radio that produces Balochi content - a daily programme that is currently aired which focuses on news and current affairs.
Referring to Balochistan in a speech as prominent as his annual August 15 address was intended by PM Modi as an aggressive comeback to his Pakistani counterpart, Nawaz Sharif, who has accused Delhi of crushing dissent in the Kashmir Valley in recent weeks.
Nearly 70 people were killed and over 10,000 injured in near-daily clashes between security forces and large and violent mobs enraged by July's shooting of 22-year-old terrorist Burhan Wani, who had turned into an icon at a time of increasing discontent in the Valley with the government and its policies.
