On one hand, while the Pakistani army has claimed that the operation is over after freeing all the hostages, the Balochistan Liberation Army has claimed that many Pakistani soldiers are still in their custody. This incident has drawn the attention of the whole world towards Pakistan.
'Such incidents will not stop in future, India supports us…', Baloch Human Rights Council warns Pakistan : Khurshid Ahmed, Information Secretary of the Baloch Human Rights Council in London, spoke about the train hijack. Expressing concern over the incident, he said, this incident shows that Pakistan is getting weak. While Baloch freedom fighters are getting stronger in Balochistan. Khurshid Ahmed also praised the rebels. He said that even in such harsh conditions, the Baloch freedom fighters followed human rights standards and allowed the elderly, women and families to return to Quetta.
They took several army personnel hostage and demanded the release of missing Baloch people. We feel that such incidents will not stop in future. He further said, "We are seeing Baloch freedom fighters, especially BLA, attacking Pakistan-China projects in Balochistan. BLA is protecting its motherland. The situation in Balochistan demands that India and Western powers should support the national struggle of the Baloch."
On the other hand, Pakistan Railway Controller Muhammad Kashif has said that this train with nine coaches was stopped by armed men in tunnel number 8. According to Pakistan Railways, there are 17 tunnels on this railway track and due to difficult terrain, trains often move at a slow speed.
