Brahumdagh Bugti (Phot: BRP Germany/YouTube)
Brahamdagh Bugti, the leader of Baloch Republican Party, is set to file a request for political asylum in India later today. Currently living in exile in Switzerland, Bugti has expressed interest to moving to India if the Indian government provides political asylum.
As discussed in this
piece on Swarajya, the government has not taken a final decision on its policy,
but reports
suggest that Baloch freedom activists will be granted political asylum by New
Delhi within weeks if they formally apply for the same.
At various occasions, Bugti has stated that the biggest difficulty for him and
other Baloch leaders living in exile is the lack of travel documents. When
granted asylum, Baloch leaders would get an Indian passport/travel documents
which would enable them to travel to other countries and inform them about
Pakistan’s repressive occupation of Baluchistan.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
