"Republic of Balochistan" was trending on the social media platform X on Wednesday after the Baloch leaders declared independence from Pakistan. Just as India and Pakistan engaged in a battle following the Pahalgam attacks, the Baloch people also used the opportunity to intensify their movement for an independent Balochistan.
A map of independent Balochistan was widely shared on social media, besides videos of people waving the Balochistan flag.
Activist Mir Yar Baloch was among those who declared independence from Pakistan. He wrote on May 9, “A possible announcement soon should be done as the collapse of the terrorist Pakistan is near. We have claimed our independence and we request India to allow Balochistan’s official office, and embassy in Delhi."
