Bill tabled in US House of Representatives for independent Balochistan

WASHINGTON: US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher has tabled a resolution in the US House Of representatives, asking that Balochistan be given the right of self determination and to their own sovereign Country, Business Recorder reported on Friday.

The bill states that the Balochi people "have the right to self-determination and to their own sovereign country;." and they should be afforded the opportunity to choose their own status among the community of nations, living in peace and harmony, without external interference."

Dana further added "The Balochi, like other nations of people, have an innate right to self-determination. The political and ethnic discrimination they suffer is tragic and made more so because America is financing and selling arms to their oppressors in Islamabad."
