At least 144 militants including 16 commanders belonging to banned militant organisations on Monday surrendered to the authorities pledging to remain loyal to Pakistan.
Addressing a Press conference, commander of banned militant organisation Lashkar-e-Balochistan Mahar Ullah said that the so-called 'freedom fight' was a self-deception as their leadership lived a luxurious life abroad.
He said that their so-called militant leaders were leading in comfort in foreign countries while misguiding the Baloch youth in the name of freedom fight.
Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) Commander Eid Mohammed alias Sana said that he is the cousin of Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) militant leader Dr Allah Nazar Baloch.
He said, "Both the BLA and BLF have committed atrocities on people to protect the personal interests and gains of their leaders". He announced that he and his associates would remain loyal to Pakistan. BLF Commander Niaz Mohammed alias Dada said, "I would like to tell the Baloch people that the so-called freedom fight is only a deception. The militant organisations are harming the interests of the people of Balochistan".
The militants, from groups including the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF), the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Lashkar-e-Balochistan, laid down their arms on Monday, said Anwaarul Haq, a provincial government spokesman.
A BLF spokesman did not respond to a request for comment on the reported surrenders.
Baloch militants have been fighting the Pakistani state for nearly a decade at the behest of some foreign powers. Pakistan says India is involved in promoting terrorism and disturbance in Balochistan and Karachi to stop the process of development.
