New Delhi, Jan 2: China could deploy military forces in Pakistan’s Balochistan province in the coming months, posing a “serious and imminent threat” to the region and to India, Baloch representative Mir Yar Baloch warned in an open letter addressed to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.
In the letter dated January 1, 2026, Mir Yar Baloch, who described himself as a representative of the Republic of Balochistan, cautioned that the possibility of Chinese troop deployment could increase if what he termed Balochistan’s “defence and freedom forces” continue to be ignored. He called such a development an “unimaginable threat” to the future of both India and Balochistan.
“Should the capabilities of Balochistan's defence and freedom forces not be further bolstered and if they continue to be overlooked as per longstanding patterns, it is conceivable that China could deploy its military forces in Balochistan within a few months,” the letter said. He added that the presence of Chinese troops in the region, without the consent of the Baloch people, would pose a major challenge to regional security.
Mir Yar Baloch also raised concerns over the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, saying the strategic partnership between Islamabad and Beijing had entered what he described as its final and most dangerous phase. He called for what he termed “tangible and reciprocal cooperation” between India and Balochistan, asserting that the threats faced by both were “genuine and imminent.”
Referring to historical and cultural links, he cited sites such as the Hinglaj Mata Temple as symbols of shared heritage between India and Balochistan.
The letter praised the Modi government’s actions under Operation Sindoor, saying the operation targeted “terrorism hubs facilitated by Pakistan” after the Pahalgam terror attack and demonstrated India’s commitment to regional security.
