Dr. Allah Nazar Baloch, the head of the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), has issued a scathing critique of Jamaat-e-Islami and the Haq Do Tehreek, urging the Baloch community to distance themselves from these organizations. The statement was shared through his official account on the social media platform Bluesky.
Dr. Allah Nazar questioned the relevance of the Haq Do Tehreek in addressing the current issues faced by the Baloch people. He accused the movement of exploiting the guise of sympathy to further its own objectives, pointing to its controversial history, particularly in Bangladesh, as evidence of its duplicity.
He extended his criticism to Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman, the leader of the Haq Do Tehreek and a key figure in Jamaat-e-Islami, alleging that such religious organizations prioritize hidden agendas over solving the pressing issues of the Baloch people. He appealed to his fellow Baloch to remain wary of Jamaat-e-Islami and other extremist groups, calling them detrimental to the interests of the community.
The Haq Do Tehreek, which originated in the coastal city of Gwadar, gained significant traction under the leadership of Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman, who also serves as the provincial head of Jamaat-e-Islami. The movement propelled Maulana to widespread popularity, culminating in his election as a Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) from Gwadar in the previous elections.
However, discontent has been brewing within Baloch circles. Maulana has failed to honor the promises he made during his rise to prominence. Instead of delivering on public expectations, he has followed the same path as other parliamentary leaders, betraying the hopes of the people and diluting the objectives of the movement.
