Former banned outfit chief Gulzar Imam Shambay reveals key details about Ghaffar Lango’s armed struggle, his ties with Khair Bakhsh Marri, and anti-state militant activities, while exposing BLA’s foreign backing and funding sources.
In an interview with media, Shambay alleged that Ghaffar Lango joined veteran nationalist Khair Bakhsh Marri after the fall of Dr. Najib’s government in Afghanistan and later turned to militancy in the mountains of Balochistan.
Shambay said that Lango’s activities were part of a broader pattern where militant groups such as the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) and others could not deny receiving support from India.
He recalled a statement attributed to Ataullah Mengal, saying: “Even if the devil offers help against Pakistan, take it.” According to him, all such organizations also finance their activities through narcotics trafficking and other illegal means.
