Inspector General Frontier Corps (IGFC) Major General Ubaidullah Khattak has said that 60 to 65 camps of the rebels are providing training to 1,500 to 2,000 insurgents in Balochistan while training camps of Baloch separatists were also operating in Afghanistan.
During an interview with a private TV channel, the IGFC said that torturing of the people was not a solution to any problem rather it fans prejudices, adding that with torture no one can find solution to any problem of the world.
Ubaidullah said the Balochistan issue must be resolved according to the wishes of the people of the province, saying the FC was a national institution which “seeks solutions by avoiding extreme ends like torture”. Condemning the murder of Balochistan minister Mir Bakhtiar Domki’s wife and daughter in Karachi, Ubaidullah said that such incidents were against the tribal traditions and also provoke anti-state sentiments among the masses. He said the killings were a conspiracy to harm the solidarity of the state.
He said the heads of Baloch rebel groups, Barhamdagh Bugti and Harbyar Marri, were given political asylum in Switzerland, while Dr Allah Nazar is living in the Mushk mountain range between Turbat and Panjgoor.
