In an interview with an Indian newspaper The Hindu Bugti desired to seek an official Indian ID and “travel documents.

At present, he is staying in Switzerland without official authorisation from the Swiss government.

He also claims that the Swiss government, declined his application for an official ID in January 2016 since his party is on the terror watch list and this is creating hurdles to his work, due to pressure from Pakistan.

“Short of physically preventing me, the Swiss are doing everything to create the circumstance that has turned me into an open-air prisoner.

“I hope that the Indian people, who gave refuge to Dalai Lama and supported Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, would recognise the risk that I am facing,” he said.

Bugti further said that Switzerland is denying him his rights wrongly, and argues that he has never been an armed insurgent. He added that he was worried for the safety of his family and followers who have accompanied him from Afghanistan to Switzerland.
