Pakistan Train Hijack / Is PAK army lying? BLA claims - 150 soldiers are still in our custody

Pakistan Train Hijack: The situation has become extremely tense since the hijacking of the Zafar Express train in Balochistan, Pakistan. Both the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and the Government of Pakistan are making different claims, due to which there is constant confusion in the situation. The BLA says that 60 soldiers have been killed in the train and 150 are still in their custody, while the Pakistan government has said in its claim that the operation has been successfully completed and all the suicide bombers have been killed. In this situation, the biggest question that arises is what is the truth after all?

Difference between BLA and Pakistan's claims

The BLA claims that there were a total of 426 passengers in the train, out of which 214 were Pakistani soldiers. According to the BLA, it has killed 60 soldiers and 150 are still in its custody. Along with this, three BLA commanders have also been killed in the attack by the Pakistan Army. In contrast, the Pakistan government said its army and air force completed the operation, killing 21 passengers and 4 soldiers. Pakistan says all 33 BLA fighters have been killed and 212 civilians have been released without any harm.

BLA's deadline and Pakistan's response

The BLA has given a tough ultimatum to the Pakistan government, saying if Pakistan does not release their Baloch prisoners, they will kill all 150 hostages on the train. This deadline expires at 1 pm today, and the BLA has warned that 5 hostages will be killed every hour. The BLA says they have released the civilians without harm and no attempt has been made to communicate with the Pakistan government. They also say that Pakistan is now on the verge of losing its last chance to correct its mistake and it must stop false propaganda.

Eyewitness testimony and questions on Pakistan's claims

At the same time, eyewitness statements are also challenging Pakistan's claims. Some eyewitnesses claimed that 70 to 80 bodies were lying outside the train and many bodies were inside the train as well. If Pakistan's claim is true that only 25 deaths occurred during the operation, then where are these bodies? Is Pakistan hiding its figures or is it turning away from the truth? No clear evidence has been found on this yet.

Is Pakistan hiding the truth?

Questions are constantly being raised on Pakistan's claim. On the one hand, the Pakistan government is saying that the operation was successful and only 25 people died, but on the other hand, the claims of eyewitnesses and the Baloch Army are much more serious than this figure. There have also been reports of 200 coffins arriving at Quetta railway station, which makes Pakistan's claim even more suspicious.

The Pakistan government has not released any evidence or videos from its side to prove its claims. If the train is still in the possession of the Baloch Army, then where are its photos or videos?

Conclusion

Ever since the hijacking of the Zafar Express train in Balochistan, the claims of both sides are not matching each other. In this situation, it is becoming difficult to understand which claim is correct. However, the Pakistan government needs to clarify its position and respond to the allegations of the Baloch Army. Also, given the obvious difference in eyewitness accounts and Pakistan's data, the question arises whether Pakistan is hiding the truth. In the coming hours, it remains to be seen whether Pakistan is able to resolve this dispute or not.
