Pak Army raid & torture Baloch students at Bolan Medical College

After a minor dispute between Baloch and Pashtun student organizations at Quetta’s Balochistan Medical College (BMC), Pak Army backed police raided the college, using extreme force to arrest multiple students. Police stormed the Bolan Medical College hostel, reportedly backed by university security forces, launching a targeted attack to intimidate Baloch community. Tear gas was deployed, and students were forcefully removed from their rooms, with many subjected to severe violence and are in critical condition. Officers singled out Baloch students reflecting the racial profiling and systemic discrimination they face in educational institutions across Pakistan.

This recent police action follows a disturbing incident last month at Punjab University, where two Baloch students were left in critical condition after being violently attacked by members of the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (IJT). The incident occurred in Boys Hostel 8, where IJT members, reportedly armed with sticks and firearms, beat several Baloch students, injuring five. University security did nothing to intervene, effectively allowing IJT members to target Baloch students with impunity.

These attacks highlight a larger, deeply embedded issue within Pakistan’s institutions. Baloch students, many of whom migrate to Punjab province and other regions in search of quality education, face persistent discrimination and violence. In Pak-occupied Balochistan, the education system has been neglected and even undermined by the military, resulting in dire conditions that compel many Baloch students to seek opportunities in other provinces. The Pak Army’s strategic underdevelopment of POB has led to crumbling infrastructure, scarce faculty, and a lack of basic educational facilities, leaving Baloch youth with limited choices only to be met with hostility, violence, and discrimination that make them feel like second-class citizens.

Pak Army abducts five more Baloch youth from Kech & Dera Bugti

In yet another instance of the Pakistan Army’s ongoing crackdown, five more Baloch individuals have been forcibly disappeared by Pak military from the districts of Kech and Dera Bugti. This latest incident is a stark reminder of the brutal and repressive measures employed by the Paki establishment to control the Baloch population by instilling fear and keeping them suppressed.

In the Kech district, Pak forces raided the local market in the Dasht Khadan area, abducting three young men—Ismail, a shopkeeper from Balingor, Imran, a student, and Dr. Liaqat Ali, a resident of Dasht. These men were en route to attend a poetry session commemorating Mubarak Qazi, a local figure of significance, when they were abducted by the military. The abduction of Dr. Liaqat Ali occurred earlier in the morning during a raid in Muskar, a region notorious for frequent military operations.

The ongoing disappearances reflect a deeply troubling pattern in which the Pakistan Army routinely targets Baloch civilians without any justification or due process. This includes the abduction of individuals such as Talal son of Umar and Amir Baloch son of Ibrahim, who were taken from Khadan during a recent operation. They have since vanished, further adding to the growing list of enforced disappearances in the region.

Enforced Disappearances in POB

The Pak military’s actions in POB are not new. The use of enforced disappearances has long been a central part of the Army’s strategy to maintain control over the province. For years, the Pakistan Army has relied on intimidation, violence, and coercion to suppress Baloch demands for justice, rights, and recognition. The repeated and systematic abductions of innocent civilians, often with no charges or explanation, are indicative of a policy of collective punishment aimed at terrorizing the local population into silence.

This policy of repression is rooted in a colonial mindset towards the people of Balochistan. The Army’s treatment of the Baloch population—who have long struggled for their basic rights and self-determination—shows a complete disregard for human dignity, rule of law, and international human rights standards. The routine abduction of Baloch activists, intellectuals, and ordinary citizens, combined with the dismissal of due process, highlights the military’s contempt for justice and its unwavering desire to maintain an iron grip over the region, regardless of the cost to human life.

Pakistani muslim abducts, converts a Hindu girl before marrying her in Sindh

In yet another case highlighting the plight of minority communities in Pakistan, Reena, a young Hindu girl from Sindh’s Badin, has come forward with harrowing experiences of abduction, forced conversion, and coerced marriage.

Recounting her ordeal Reena said that she was forcibly kidnapped, converted to Islam, and married to one of her abductors. The accused allegedly threatened her that if she did not make fake testimony of consent to love marriage in court, they would kill her, her parents, and her sisters.

The Minority Rights Organisation Chairman Shiva Kachhi met the family of the Hindu girl and extended full support to the victim’s legal fight. He said, “This is not just an attack on an individual; it’s an attack on our community and our fundamental rights,” Kachi said, vowing to continue his fight for justice and protection for vulnerable minorities in Pakistan.

Although facing the wrath of state-sponsored religious conversion, the minority Hindu community is getting no recourse. In fact, the cases are on the rise and Hindu girls are being abducted, raped, and converted. In most cases, the girls are later left after marriage or after bearing children. The sole agenda of the Islamists is to Islamise society by violating the modesty of the woman.

Hezbollah attacks Haifa with 165 rockets after Netanyahu admits Israel’s role in pager attack

In one of the deadliest attacks against Israel since the war in Gaza began, over 165 rockets were launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah on Monday, striking northern Israel and leaving seven people injured, including a toddler. The barrage targeted Haifa and other northern areas, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the attack through their official X handle, sharing a video showing vehicles engulfed in flames. Their post declared: “#Northern_Israel_Is_Under_Attack. We will continue to defend our civilians against Hezbollah’s aggression.”

This latest escalation followed a statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who on Sunday admitted to authorizing military operations against Hezbollah in September. These included a “pager attack” on September 17 and a “walkie-talkie attack” on September 18, which resulted in 39 fatalities and over 3,000 injuries.

Earlier in the day, Israel’s new foreign minister suggested there had been “certain progress” in diplomatic efforts to end hostilities with Hezbollah. However, Hezbollah’s spokesperson refuted these claims, stating no official proposals had been received and that the group was prepared for a prolonged conflict if necessary.

Israel-Hezbollah war

Notably, Hezbollah initiated attacks on Israel following Israel’s bombardment in Gaza after the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas. Hezbollah’s attacks were in solidarity with Hamas.

However, Hezbollah emerged as a new front of escalation for Israel gradually. The heated exchanges of fire took a dramatic turn with the pager attack. Nearly ten days later on September 28, Israel killed Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, taking the hostilities to an unprecedented level.

The infuriated attack from both sides raised concern over the escalatory spiral that gripped the entire Middle East. With the latest strike, Israel’s response against the terrorist group seems imminent.

Armed attack on Pak Army camp kills one Paki soldier and injures eight

In a violent attack on a Pakistan forces camp in the Dasht Khadan area of Kech district, POB, unidentified assailants launched a well-coordinated assault, leading to intense gunfire exchanges that lasted for hours on Sunday evening. Reportedly, explosions and gunfire echoed across the town, spreading fear among residents.

Security officials confirmed that Naik Saifullah, a Pak soldier, lost his life in the attack, while eight others sustained injuries. Following the incident, security forces swiftly cordoned off the area and launched a search operation to locate the attackers.

This region has been a focal point of frequent attacks by Baloch nationalist groups, who have long demanded autonomy and recognition of Baloch rights amid escalating violence with the Pak-occupied state. However, no group has yet claimed responsibility for this latest assault.

Violence erupts in Dhaka as students & activists block Awami league rally

Unrest gripped Dhaka as Awami League (AL) leaders and supporters faced fierce resistance at the historic Zero Point in Gulistan, where students and activists from various opposition parties, including BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, clashed with Awami League members, thwarting their planned event. The standoff led to violent scuffles, with at least 10 individuals, including two women, attacked on suspicion of Awami League affiliation.

The violence erupted as Raju Ahmed Miran, Ridoy, and other Awami League supporters attempted to chant slogans near the stadium. In response, opposition supporters accused them of trying to disrupt the area, leading to physical confrontations. Injured Awami League supporters were taken to Dhaka Medical College Hospital, with police confirming that they would be questioned following medical treatment.

This unrest coincides with Awami League’s attempted commemoration of Shaheed Noor Hossain Day, a historic day marking the 1987 police shooting of Noor Hossain, a Jubo League leader who was killed while protesting the authoritarian rule of HM Ershad. While Awami League’s plans included a “protest march to restore democracy,” counter-demonstrators seized Zero Point, declaring that they would prevent any Awami League gatherings there. Noor Hossain’s family and various political parties, excluding Awami League, observed the day by placing wreaths at the memorial.

Awami League Rally Turns Violent

In anticipation of potential clashes, police conducted preemptive raids across Dhaka on Saturday night, detaining over 50 Awami League activists, accused of preparing to incite unrest under the guise of the event. The interim government denounced Awami League actions, referring to the party as “fascist” and emphasizing its determination to halt any gatherings led by AL supporters.

Demonstrators from the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement and other political organizations occupied Zero Point from early morning, brandishing sticks and blocking the Awami League from reaching the area. Activists also guarded the Awami League headquarters on Bangabandhu Avenue, aggressively confronting individuals who chanted Awami League slogans.

Tensions mounted when an elderly man, suspected of Awami League affiliation, was severely beaten by demonstrators around noon before police intervened to rescue him. The incident reflects a growing intolerance among opposition forces toward the Awami League, as political divisions intensify across Bangladesh’s capital. Dhaka police continue to detain individuals connected to the event, pledging further investigations into the confrontations that unfolded throughout the day.

BLF fidayeens ambush Pak Army convoys in Kolwah, kills nine Paki soldiers

The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has launched two separate attacks on Pakistan military convoys in the Kolwah area of POB’s Kech district, which left nine soldiers dead and several others wounded.

According to the BLF, the first attack took place on Sunday, November 10, at around 12:30 p.m. in the Marastan area of Kolwah. BLF fighters ambushed a Pak military convoy that was entering the region for an operation. The attack resulted in the deaths of five soldiers, with several others sustaining injuries.

The second attack occurred shortly after, at around 1:30 p.m, in the plains between Sagak and Kade Hotel. This assault targeted another military convoy, killing four Pak soldiers and injuring others.

In a detailed statement, the BLF spokesperson, Gwhram Baloch, revealed that earlier that morning, a large number of Pak soldiers entered Kolwah from Hoshab, conducting house-to-house searches and intimidating local residents. As the military convoy attempted to leave the area after the operation, BLF fighters, aided by their Special Operations Squad and Qurbani Unit, ambushed the convoy using heavy weaponry. Four military vehicles and several motorcycles were destroyed in the attack, resulting in the deaths of five soldiers and injuries to others. Despite attempts by Pak armored vehicles to encircle the BLF fighters, the fidayeen successfully repelled the military forces.

BLF Launches Successful Assault

The spokesperson further stated that after the attack, the military forces, fearing another ambush in the mountainous terrain, retreated toward Kade Hotel. They took a route through the plains between Sagak and Kade Hotel, but BLF fighters ambushed the convoy again, killing four soldiers and injuring several others.

In a strong condemnation of the Pak military’s actions, Gwhram Baloch said that the occupying forces continue to carry out brutal operations across Balochistan, targeting civilians under the guise of military operations. However, he added that the true defenders of Balochistan have proved time and again that they will not allow such aggression to succeed.

The BLF spokesperson emphasized that the struggle for a free Balochistan is ongoing, with BLF fighters, intelligence units, and special operations squads delivering both military and psychological blows to the Paki establishment. He concluded by saying that the day is near when the flag of a free Balochistan will fly over the land, and the occupying forces will be expelled for good.

Mother of abducted minor Hindu girl cries justice after Pakistani court gives custody to kidnapper

In a heartbreaking scene outside the Hyderabad Press Club, the mother of Chanda Maharaj—a minor Hindu girl abducted and handed over to her kidnapper by court order—is demanding her daughter’s safe return. For two years, Chanda’s mother has fought for justice while her daughter remains missing, last seen with Shaman Magsi, a man implicated in her abduction, yet inexplicably granted custody over her by the court. Despite repeated appeals, the mother’s pleas have been met with silence from the authorities, underscoring the terrifying reality faced by Pakistan’s Hindu minority.

Chanda Maharaj’s case is emblematic of the injustices inflicted on Pakistan’s minority communities, particularly Hindus, whose young girls are abducted, raped, forcibly converted, and subjected to marriages under duress. Even institutions, including the courts and law enforcement, appear complicit in perpetuating the abuse rather than providing protection. The court’s decision to hand Chanda over to her kidnapper reflects a system that seems indifferent to the suffering of minorities, often subjecting them to legal structures that effectively sanction their persecution.

Bangladeshi muslims threaten to repeat Noakhali massacre

In yet another grim escalation of anti-Hindu violence, an Islamic extremist mob attacked a Hindu temple in the Shibatala Karmakar area of Chapainawabganj district, sending shockwaves through the vulnerable Hindu minority in Bangladesh. Reports indicate that the army has arrived on the scene, but, astonishingly, they are failing to provide the crucial assistance needed by the besieged community. Instead, helpless members of the temple committee have taken to the streets in protest, decrying the army’s indifference to their plight.

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), a globally recognized Hindu Vaishnavite organization, now finds itself at the center of a coordinated assault in Bangladesh. For months, ISKCON has served as a unifying force for the Hindu minority, providing resistance against a wave of violence that is being fueled by radical Islamist groups like Hifazat-e-Islam. In recent days, the extremists have intensified their campaign, with Hifazat-e-Islam openly calling for attacks against ISKCON and spreading incitement through social media channels, even brazenly invoking the memory of the infamous Noakhali massacre to instill terror in Bangladesh’s Hindu community.

Tensions escalated in Bangladesh’s port city of Chittagong as security forces launched a massive crackdown on the minority Hindu community following clashes sparked by a social media post. The incident began on November 5 in the Hazari Gali area when Osman Ali, a member of the radical Islamic group Jamat-e-Islami, posted derogatory remarks against the Hindu religion and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) on social media.

Footage of the incident showed scenes of chaos, with security personnel clashing with civilians, chasing them, and hitting them with batons. 

ISKCON Under Siege

ISKCON is far from a political threat; it is an esteemed spiritual organization with a presence in over 76 countries, promoting universal principles of peace and unity through the Hare Krishna Movement. In Bangladesh, ISKCON’s outreach extends beyond spiritual gatherings to humanitarian work, assisting communities in need, particularly during natural disasters. Yet, this internationally respected institution now faces an unprovoked assault because its monks and Brahmacharis have dared to speak out against the brutal persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh.

As extremists rallied in Chattogram from Teri Bazar to Cheragi, their chilling slogans echoed through the streets, inciting violence with chants such as, “There is no place for ISKCON in this Bangla; burn down ISKCON, torch ISKCON’s addresses; raze down ISKCON, demolish ISKCON’s addresses.” These violent calls to action are nothing short of a national disgrace, yet the Bangladeshi government remains disturbingly silent, seemingly content to watch as its extremist factions terrorize its own citizens.

This escalating violence against ISKCON is emblematic of the broader failure of the Bangladeshi government to protect its minority communities from rising religious extremism. Instead of confronting this menace, Bangladeshi authorities appear more concerned with appeasing radical elements, effectively condoning the persecution of Hindus under the guise of “maintaining order.” Such inaction lays bare a damning truth: the government’s complacency has emboldened extremists, leaving Bangladeshi Hindus at the mercy of mobs intent on erasing them from the nation.

Pak Army mortar shelling kills two innocent Pashtun children in Waziristan

In yet another heinous act of violence, Punjabi Pak Army fired mortar shells into the Shaktoi village in Upper Waziristan’s tehsil Sharkai at 11 a.m. on 9 Nov, killing two innocent children and injuring another. This latest atrocity follows a disturbing pattern of targeted attacks on civilians by the Pakistan Army, reminiscent of the recent shelling in Khyber Terah just a day earlier.

The mortar fire is deliberately aimed at the civilian population. The repeated targeting of children and livestock, raises serious questions about the intentions behind these brutal assaults. In stark contrast, the shells never seem to hit the terrorists or Pakistan Army personnel, this shows that these attacks are truly meant to instill fear among the already suffering civilian populace.

The Pakistan Army’s reckless shelling of civilian areas has become a grotesque tactic aimed at intimidating and displacing the local population. This marks yet another chapter in the long history of the military’s violent oppression in regions like Waziristan, where Pak Army have long been perpetrating atrocities to silence Pashtuns and to facilitate their mass eviction and seize control of the mineral-rich lands predominantly owned by Pashtuns.
