Terrorists Supporter Pakistan on the Brink: With Balochistan’s Rebellion, Five More Fractures Emerging…
After Bharat and Pakistan announced a ceasefire on May 10, 2025, what appeared to be a moment of calm has instead revealed a collapsing nation spiralling into chaos. Pakistan, already burdened by economic turmoil and international isolation, now faces its most severe existential threat since its creation in 1947: internal disintegration.
Sometime ago, Pakistan was known for AAA (triple A) means Allah, Army & America. This narratives was always in existence in Pakistan with all socio-political reasons, but we can add fourth one new A -Atankwad means Terrorism. In last 11 years, the support from America was less comparatively, but on 10th May whole world witnessed new avatar of America for special support to Pakistan.
In spite of all support with many others countries to Pakistan, separatist flames have intensified across Balochistan, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and even parts of Punjab. Once loosely held together by military might and religious slogans, the federation now teeters on the verge of a breakup—split by deepening ethnic discontent, economic injustice, and political failure.
Operation Sindoor and Balochistan’s Declaration
Balochistan has become the epicentre of this disintegration. During Bharat’s counter-terror campaign “Operation Sindoor,” Baloch forces—long fighting for freedom—declared independence. The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) seized control of several strategic installations, and by May 9, large swathes of Quetta had reportedly fallen under rebel command. Videos of insurgents storming military posts and hoisting the Baloch flag flooded global media before Pakistan shut down all major platforms.
Since then, Islamabad has gone silent, and the absence of an official military response signals a weakening grip.
The region’s new Prime Minister, Meherun Nissa Baloch, made an emotional and defiant speech on May 12, calling upon the United Nations and Bharat to recognize Balochistan’s sovereignty and support its transition to democracy. The haunting cry—”We are not seeking war, but dignity”—has reverberated through diaspora communities and human rights forums worldwide. As I think, with analysing the situations and conditions of Baloch citizen, Bharat’s Modi Government should think on this valid demand of Baluchistan we recall, Palestine state was first recognized by Bharat under Indira Gandhi regime.
Mass Atrocities and a Legacy of Repression
Baloch leaders cite over 6,000 enforced disappearances since the 1960s as part of the Pakistani state’s repression. Mass graves, tortured bodies, and missing persons have become tragic symbols of this legacy. One viral comment summed up the pain: “Those 6,000 rooms may now be vacated.”
The movement has evolved from sporadic militancy to a full-fledged mass uprising. Former members of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) from Balochistan have defected, accusing Islamabad of treating the province as a gas mine rather than a partner in the federation.
IMF Withdraws Support as Economy Nosedives
Adding to the crisis is Pakistan’s collapsing economy. Inflation touched 47% in May, and foreign reserves dropped below $1.5 billion—barely enough for two weeks of imports. The IMF has halted further disbursements, citing political instability, lack of transparency, and diversion of aid to military purposes.
Analysts now describe Pakistan as a “financially bankrupt state presiding over a geopolitical time bomb.” Without IMF support, even basic military operations are at risk of being suspended. So, the defence minister of Bharat Shri Rajnath Singh also urged to IMF to withdraw the funds released recently.
Five Fractures Emerging
New intelligence assessments suggest Pakistan may soon break into four distinct entities:
- Free Balochistan – Already functioning with its own government-in-exile seeking international recognition.
- Sindhu Desh – Sindhi nationalist groups have called for a referendum after a crackdown in Karachi led to 23 civilian deaths.
- Pashtunistan – PTM leaders have begun holding joint rallies with Baloch groups, demanding autonomy and demilitarization of tribal areas.
- Punjab-Rawalpindi Core – The military’s last bastion, heavily fortified but surrounded by unrest.
- Gilgit-Baltistan- is also witnessing rising demands for independence, amplified by the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative’s exploitation of local resources.
Global Reactions and Bharat’s Strategic Poise
Bharat’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a televised address after the ceasefire, stated:
“Peace is born when truth is acknowledged. The time has come for South Asia to embrace justice over denial.”
While Bharat maintains strategic restraint, there are indications of humanitarian corridors being prepared to assist Baloch refugees and medical aid being offered to border villages affected by the conflict.
The Collapse from Within
Pakistan’s dream—built on the two-nation theory and enforced by repeated martial law—now stands exposed as an artificial construct struggling to hold incompatible identities. The state’s long-standing patronage of terrorism, censorship, and neglect of regional aspirations has backfired.
In the words of a former Pakistani diplomat now in exile:
“The fall of Pakistan will not come by war—it will come from the silence of the oppressed no longer willing to wait.”
What we are witnessing may not just be the fall of a regime—but the end of an idea.
The world must now prepare for a future where “Pakistan” exists only in history books, replaced by emerging nations reclaiming voices long denied.
