A Baloch activist has warned that China may soon deploy its military in Pakistan’s Balochistan region, calling the possibility a serious and immediate threat to regional stability and to India’s security interests. The warning was issued by Mir Yar Baloch in an open letter addressed to India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, in which he urged greater attention to the situation in the region.
In the letter, dated January 1, 2026, Mir Yar Baloch, who identified himself as a representative of the Republic of Balochistan, cautioned that Chinese troop deployment could take place within months if the region’s “defence and freedom forces” continue to be ignored. He described such a move as deeply alarming and said it would have far-reaching consequences not only for Balochistan but also for India. According to him, the arrival of Chinese troops without the consent of the Baloch people would pose an “unimaginable threat” to regional peace and sovereignty.
He further warned that the growing strategic partnership between Pakistan and China, particularly under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), had entered what he described as its final and most dangerous phase. This, he said, made the situation even more urgent. Mir Yar Baloch called for meaningful and reciprocal cooperation between India and Balochistan, stressing that the security challenges faced by both sides were real and immediate.
In his letter, he also highlighted the historical and cultural ties between Balochistan and India, pointing to shared heritage and religious links. He specifically mentioned the Hinglaj Mata Temple, also known as Nani Mandir, as a symbol of the deep-rooted civilisational connection between the two regions.
The Baloch leader also praised the Indian government’s actions under Operation Sindoor, stating that the operation had targeted terror infrastructure backed by Pakistan. He described the move as a demonstration of strong political will and commitment to regional security, particularly in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack.
Concluding his message, Mir Yar Baloch expressed hope for closer cooperation between what he referred to as “two great nations,” emphasizing that stronger engagement between India and Balochistan was essential to counter emerging threats and ensure long-term stability in the region.
