Behram Baloch:

Gwadar Rights Movement (GRM) announced to stage sit-in outside the Gwadar international airport to mount pressure on the government to acceptance of its demands. “We will stage a sit-in on the road leading towards Gwadar airport”, Maulana Hidayat ur Rehman, the GRM Chief said. 

Thirty-six days have passed since the GRM protest and sit-in at Lala Hameed Chowk. The government delegation could not reach the talks yet, the Maulana complained. Addressing the protesters on the thirty-sixth day of the protest sit-in, the GRM chief Maulana Hidayatur Rehman said that illegal trawling and fishing has deprived commoners of their daily bread in the sea.

Many fish species completely disappeared because of illegal fishing: Maulana

It has been done, and many fish species have completely disappeared due to the extinction of fishes, the Maulana said. These trawlers are the enemies of Sindh bandits and fishermen and pirates of the land, if the trawlers are caught and brought to court, the lawyers’ community should not fight the case of these bandits, he said.

He said that Awaran, Mastung, Khuzdar, Khadkocha, and Makran are destroyed, and the political parties are responsible for the destruction of these areas of Balochistan. Balochistan has been ruined by these same political parties, and cruelty is reaching its peak in Balochistan, but no leader of any nationalist party has resigned from the assembly.

What is the fault of GRM, he questions

He said that intellectuals on social media criticizing the Haq Du Movement should first tell what is the fault and mistakes of the Haq Du Movement. First, tell us if it is our fault, he asked. If we are wrong, then they should not support us, but they should not become cowards themselves, struggle and protest. In the sit-in, Maulana Hidayat-ur-Rehman also announced a sit-in on December 2 in front of the Gwadar New International Airport.
